How do i reassign a hardware path using insf.I had a bad disk - which is been replaced - which now got a new path.The old hw path of the bad disk is marked as no_hw.I need to reassign that hw path to the newly added disk.any idea.

scsi disk ? , san disk ? .

If it's a scsi disk, and you replace a disk the HDW path is the same.

You just have to do a #ioscan -fnC disk

and the NO_HW should be CLAIMED

Did you put the SAS disk in the same slot?

If so you have to use the sasmgr command with the replace_tgt option. Check out this thread http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=&threadId=1141973
