hi,

you don't need to delete the device,

if you reboot the server during some planed patching or servis of your infrastructure, the device will be automatically removed from the OS.

the question is why you have a NO_HW ???,

check the system for EMS messages ...

It is reading from buffer. What is the output of ioscan -fnH ?

[HCL Ash]

i have rebooted server. still unable to remove device files.

Have u tried rmsf without -k option, because from the manpage of rmsf says as follows:

-k
Remove the definition of the device from the system, but not any special files. This option cannot be used with -a.

If you have tried, few other things you could try

1) Start a scan from higher up, say "ioscan -fnH 0/3"...Then try rmsf(without the -k option)

2) Else when you do ioscan as mentioned in 1) see if there is any errors in the syslog.

btw which OS is this.. 11.23 or 11.31?
