vgimport error

[Greg Butler]

In a san environment, when trying to import the parent vg's I am recieving the following error: physical volume /dev/dsk/c12t1d0 is not a block special file. The ioscan on the host box shows that device with no /dev/ files. The hardware address is 0/2/0/0.1.31.42.1.1.0. Is there anything that I can do to create the files necessary so that on vgimport I don't get this message ? I am also getting corrupted filesystems so have to fsck before I can mount them on the host. Are these things related ? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ioscans from the business copy machine and the parent machine are attached.

Have you tried doing an 'insf -e' to (re)create the necessary device files?

Try this:

# insf -e
# ioscan -fnC disk

Now you will be able to vgimport it.

Hi Greg:

# insf -e

...will create missing device files.

Easy as that. Thanks all.
