Hello, For the disk that doesn't exist anymore I see:
c3::50001fe15005e90a,11 unavailable connected configured unusable c3::50001fe15005e90c,11 unavailable connected configured unusable So only two paths of 8 are still hanging there. -j- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: lunes, 23 de abril de 2007 23:22 To: Jarkko Airaksinen; Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-vx] removing devices what kind of output do you get with? # cfgadm -o show_FCP_dev -al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jarkko Airaksinen Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 4:12 AM To: Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-vx] removing devices Yes, in a way it's present as I don't disconnect the whole SAN :). I just do the normal device removal process (umount fs, remove volume from the disk group etc) and finally unpresent it from the SAN. What makes this odd is that sometimes the removal works just fine. On a slow day when there's not much action in the server I've tried disabling all paths for the other of the two adapters with cfgadm but the paths stay regardless. Long time ago means a few months ago but during this uptime. -j- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Dunham Sent: miércoles, 11 de abril de 2007 20:03 To: Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-vx] removing devices > I suppose this is because the device paths don't get cleaned even with > devfsadm -C. Close. 'devfsadm -C' removes device files if the *device* is gone. However in your case the device is still present (but no longer connected to storage). How a device is handled depends on your storage driver(s). Some can handle removal without a reboot, some can't. Best would be if you could go in with cfgadm and disable the storage. > However the devices definitely don't exist anymore. I've deleted the > disk from the SAN long time ago. I think the Solaris device does still exist in the kernel and storage driver. Does "long time ago" mean before or after the last reboot? > How would you remove the dangling device entries (without rebooting) > if devfsadm -C doesn't clear them? The server has Sol8 + VxVM5.0. You have to ask the device driver to do it, and there's no global way of asking. 'cfgadm disable ...' would be the usual way for a recent Sun-supplied san driver. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
