Unable to create legacy HW path/disk devices for one lun

Unable to create legacy HW path/disk devices for one lun

I am probably missing something stupid easy, but I am unable to get the legacy disks to create correctly for a lun that has been presented.  While I can get it represented as a different lun number to fix the problem, I am trying to identify the root cause for it.  Below is what I am seeing.

 

Note that 0x6 is not creating legacy H/W paths

 

ioscan -m hwpath

Even with "rmsf -H", and doing an ioscan -fnC disk/insf -e, I am unable to create the legacy device files to even do a replace_leg_dsf.  I tried running it on disk2, but it didn't do anything:

 

finux136:/home/smcguire] scsimgr replace_leg_dsf -D /dev/rdisk/disk2
Do you really want to replace? (y/[n])? y

 

 

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Show the following:

 

  # ioscan -fn

  # ioscan -m dsf

I'm attaching output as my browser kept adding extra indents.

Re: Unable to create legacy HW path/disk devices for one lun

OK, well I do see the original legacy HW path on 0x0:

 

64000/0xfa00/0x0
                  0/3/0/0/0/0.0x500a098180dea6f7.0x0   0/3/0/0/0/0.1.0.255.0.15.0
                  0/3/0/0/0/1.0x500a098190dea6f7.0x0   0/3/0/0/0/1.2.0.255.0.14.0

64000/0xfa00/0x6
                  0/3/0/0/0/0.0x500a098180dea6f7.0x4000000000000000
                  0/3/0/0/0/1.0x500a098190dea6f7.0x4000000000000000

 

ioscan shows those as follows:

 

ctl          0  0/3/0/0/0/0.1.0.255.0.15.0  sctl           CLAIMED     DEVICE       NETAPP  LUN
                              /dev/rscsi/c0t15d0
ctl          2  0/3/0/0/0/1.2.0.255.0.14.0  sctl           CLAIMED     DEVICE       NETAPP  LUN
                              /dev/rscsi/c2t14d0

 

 

I might suggest trying the following:

 

# scsimgr replace_wwid -D /dev/rdisk/disk<orig-id>

 

This will validate the LUN ID and should allow it back online (currently the status shows UNOPEN).

Re: Unable to create legacy HW path/disk devices for one lun

I've tried running the scsimgr command on the disk, but it doesn't appear to do anything:

 

 

ioscan -m dsf /dev/rscsi/c0t15d0 Persistent DSF           Legacy DSF(s) ======================================== /dev/pt/pt4              /dev/rscsi/c0t15d0

 

scsimgr replace_wwid -D /dev/pt/pt4 scsimgr:WARNING: Performing replace_wwid on the resource may have some impact on system operation. Do you really want to replace? (y/[n])? y scsimgr: Successfully validated binding of LUN paths with new LUN.

 

scsimgr replace_wwid -D /dev/rdisk/disk2 scsimgr:WARNING: Performing replace_wwid on the resource may have some impact on system operation. Do you really want to replace? (y/[n])? y scsimgr: Successfully validated binding of LUN paths with new LUN.

then

ioscan -fnC disk

insf -e

 

Output still shows as:

64000/0xfa00/0x6                   0/3/0/0/0/0.0x500a098180dea6f7.0x4000000000000000                   0/3/0/0/0/1.0x500a098190dea6f7.0x4000000000000000

Re: Unable to create legacy HW path/disk devices for one lun

Hmmm...usually when you run the scsmgr replace_wwid command the original device is reported as NO_HW and a new one is shown.   Then the io_redirect_dsf is used to reassign the original device name.  Perhaps by using rmsf- H earlier this is causing the problem?

 

Does 'scsimgr lan_map' still show the LUNs as UNOPEN?

Re: Unable to create legacy HW path/disk devices for one lun

Try disabling and re-enabling legacy naming model...

#rmsf -L

then

#insf -L

Rgds...
