Hi,

VxVM 5.0MP3 onwards has this facility of removing stale device paths from the 
DMP kernel database. Prior to this release DMP reatined the information of 
stale device paths until the next reboot.

With regards 
Hari

Hello,

We have a 2-node cluster with Solaris 9, VxVM version 4.1_p3. There was a 
storage migration from Hitachi to EMC, and after the Hitachi LUNs were removed 
the vxdmpadm still indicates the paths to the old disks, in DISABLED state. Is 
there a way to remove these paths online, without reconfig reboot? Did anyone 
encountered such a situation and solved it without reboot?

- cfgadm -al shows only the new disks
- vxdisk list shows only the new disks
- format shows only the new disks
- /dev/vc/[r]dmp is cleaned of devices indicating the old disks
- /dev/[r]dsk has only the new devices (cleaned with devfsadm)
- vxconfigd -k has been run (freezed the groups); after vxdctl enable the paths 
still remained:

NAME         STATE[A]   PATH-TYPE[M] DMPNODENAME  ENCLR-TYPE   ENCLR-NAME
