Those with XP/HDS or Similar Arrays -- What do you do after disks are de-presented/removed?

[Zinky]

When LUNS get depresented or removed from your system, what tasks do you often do? (Assuming all LVM or VxVM tasks have been taken care of already..)?

Do you simply do:

ioscan ;insf -e;xpinfo -ui
(and optionally "vxdctl enable" for those on VxVM)


OR:

rmsf ..., xpinfo -ui
(and the above optional VxVM step?)

Hi Nelson,

I simply determine the HW path of the defunct LUNs with
ioscan -fnC disk
Then remove the devices with
rmsf -H Hardware_Path
It will remove both the /dev/dsk & /dev/rdsk entries.

Rgds,
Jeff

Destroy the lvs, then vgs then pvs.

Remove server access to the LUNS with Secure Lun Manager.

Review server side results with ioscan.

Then rmsf, xpinfo. (as you had in number 2).

Then update the spreadsheet for the LUN allocation. This last step is the big important one that I harp on with the sysadmins to get done each and EVERY time.

Thanks!
