How to remove all lunpaths associated with a tgtpath

I'm looking for a quick and easy way to remove all the lunpaths associated with a particular tgtpath.  Essentially we lost a port on one of our storage devices. The storage team "repaired" this by presenting a different port to the servers. That means we need to remove the failed path and all associated device files.   I am trying to avoid a reboot to do this. I have 12 impacted servers with hundreds of LUNs to contend with.

 

 

# ioscan -kfnNC tgtpath
Class     I  H/W Path  Driver S/W State   H/W Type     Description

The failed tgtpath is: 34/0/2/0/0/0/0/4/0/0/0.0x500a098887a9aa96

 

There are 62 associated lunpaths with this tgtpath.

 

# scsimgr get_info -H 34/0/2/0/0/0/0/4/0/0/0.0x500a098887a9aa96

        STATUS INFORMATION FOR TARGET PATH : 34/0/2/0/0/0/0/4/0/0/0.0x500a098887a9aa96

Generic Status Information

SCSI services internal state                  = IDLE

LUN paths registered (active/inactive)        = 62

 

I tried to use scsimgr since the man page seems to imply that -H can accept a target path, but that doesn't work.

 

[root@preodbu1a]# scsimgr disable -H 34/0/2/0/0/0/0/4/0/0/0.0x500a098887a9aa96
scsimgr: ERROR: Invalid object identifier.
Command disable expects a LUN or LUN path identifier

 

I've disabled the lunpaths which prevents the system from accessing the LUNs over these paths. So far I see:

Any easy way to get rid of this tgtpath,  lunpaths, and associated device files without reboot?

Answering my own question...

 

# rmsf -H tgtpath

 

Too easy!
