/dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk cleanup

[Nikee Reddy]

Hello,

Recently we have migrated the system data from SYMM to SAN. After migrating the data we have unplugged all the SYMM cable from the host. Also we have done clean-up process on the volume group side tooo.

Here my question is, how can I clean-up the disk information from /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk?

Thanks,
Nikee

Use the command rmsf on the driver files individually.

You can go with a slash and burn approach and then run insf -e and insf -C to rebuild the drivers after the switch.

I choose the more conservative approach.

use rmsf to remove the special files
rmsf /dev/dsk/c....
rmsf /dev/rdsk/c.....

Hope that helps

An easy way to get rid of a whole heap is to remove the whole hardware address path.

e.g. This will remove .1 .2 .3 .4 etc

# rmsf -H 1/0/10/0/0.3.25.0.0.0
