    Description When performing a micro-program exchange online in the alternate path mode, the following
    functions are supported when subsystem is connected to a server with HDLM in operation.
    1. To set a wait time after the MP used for the micro-program exchange is rebooted.
    2. The wait time is selectable between 1-60 minutes.
    3. The HDLM software can automatically recognize if the path is down or recovered and switch
    the path status during the wait time

    Conditions to enable the function:


    1. MP reboot due to micro-program exchange (DKCMAIN,RAMBOOT),
    2. Alternate path mode (automatic) is selected.
    Changed SVP Micro-Program Exchange
    Note Restrictions:
    Alternate path is set correctly,
    The online micro-program exchange is available when both the primary path and the alternate
    path are normal. If a path status is abnormal, make sure to perform the online micro-program
    exchange after the path recovery. The alternate path function is unavailable for the HMDE
    volume. When exchanging the micro-program or CHF, make sure to perform a planned stop for
    the I/O onto the HMDE volume. Make sure to perform a planned stop for the I/O onto the LDEV
    to which the alternate path is not set. In the environment of HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, or
    Windows2000/2003, perform the micro-program exchange in the alternate SCSI path mode.
    In the case of Dual Active, workload may concentrate on one path during the micro-program or
    CHF exchange. Please perform the micro-program exchange online when the host’s workload is
    low. In the environment of Path Manager of Windows OS, the alternate path function is
    unsupported when using RAID Manager. Please shut down the RAID Manager in this case.
