Getting HW path & LUN paths from /dev/dsk/c*

[ideep]

I need to delete the HW path and LUN paths
associated with a device after deleting it. Is there any command with gives the lun & HW paths if we give the device as input(/dev/dsk/c*t*d*)?

[Vijaykumar_1]

If you have already removed the disk physically from the server and if the device file still exists, then you may need to run insf..

#insf -eC disk

This will recreate the device files and the device files for the removed disks will get removed.

In case of a an EMC symmetrix LUN, you will have to run powermt commands to remove the dead paths

The sequence will be as follows,

#powermt check
#powermt config
#powermt save
#powermt display

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

# ioscan -fnCdisk

i did
1.rmsf -a /dev/dsk/c5t2d2
2.insf -eC disk

but i still see NO_HW HW & lun paths

# ioscan -fkNC disk | grep NO_HW
disk 36 64000/0xfa00/0x67b esdisk NO_HW DEVICE NETAPP LUN
# ioscan -fkNC lunpath | grep NO_HW
lunpath 32 64000/0x2/0x0.0x0.0x4012000000000000 eslpt NO_HW LUN_PATH LUN path for disk36
# uname -a
HP-UX hpux197- B.11.31 U ia64 1205803419 unlimited-user license

Am i missing anything?

Hi,

Which is your OS ?

#ioscan is the command which will give you device files and hardware mapping.

But
"I need to delete the HW path and LUN paths
associated with a device after deleting it.
"

==> what you mean by delete HW path???

an entry in ioscan o/p (eg 64000/0xfa00/0x67b ) which is listed under H/W path

# ioscan -fkNC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===================================================================
disk 3 64000/0xfa00/0x0 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GMAX3073NC
disk 4 64000/0xfa00/0x1 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP 73.4GMAX3073NC

There is no need to list individual paths for deletion in 11.31.

Simply run "rmsf -x" to instantly delete all disk devices, HW paths and lunpaths whose disk is no longer available.

we are not able to get rid of NO_HW paths even after running the rmsf -x in HPUX 11iv3

Did you try this?

# rmsf -k -H ...

[Vijaykumar_1]

-k option with ioscan invokes the device tree from the kernel. Try running without -k option
