Devices that were removed reappearing after insf command issued.

[John E. Goetz]

We are using HP StorageWorks Command View to remove devices from a HP Unix server connected to our HP X1024. All paths are removed succussfully however when doing a ioscan -fnC disk and insf -e on the server, the device reappears. Only way to clear it has been doing a reboot which clears the devices from the kernel. There has to be another way besides rebooting. Any suggestions?

Takes a reboot will resolve.

Even if rmsf -H removes successfully insf -eH will reinstall.

I am assuming an ioscan shows NO_HWR at these addreses.

John,

If you are seeing the devices as NO_HW in S/W state, you can remove those devices by,

# rmsf -a -H


Hope this helps you,
