ftsmaint

[Ceesjan van Hattum]

Here i have some Stratus Continuum machines: DNCP 400 Series.

The command 'ftsmaint' lets me examine and control hardware components. If i type: ftsmaint ls | grep 14,
it will give me statistics of harddisks etc.

But.. when i fysically delete some disks and delete the specials files:
rm /dev/[r]dsk/c*
insf -e
..the delete harddisk is stell seen by ftsmaint.
Also, when i want to delete c0t3d0 by rmsf -H 14/0/0.3
it will remove path 14/0/0.3.0 but not 14/0/0.3.

What i need, is to flush ftsmaint statistics and rebuild its records. This is normally done by a reboot of the system, but that i really do not want.
What makes a reboot rebuild this data? I searched for ioinit and ioscan, but they do not have this problem and do not seem to flush ftsmaint-data.
Is there anybody who can help me on this?
Regards,

Can it be that the hardware path 14/0/0.3 is the path of the bus or controller? I assume you've just removed harddisks, not other hardware?
In that case it is only fair that this hardware path is still visible since it is not removed.
Is there an option of ftsmaint to do a rescan, instead of using cached data?

Hi Timo,
Your absolutely right, and if you (or anybody else) can give me the 'ftsmaint -rescan' option/possibility without the reboot, you will be the here of today.
