9. For any devices manually bound by PID, bring the device back online, but do

not start applications. Update their bindings and reboot again if necessary.
This may involve changing them to the new PIDs, or may (preferably) involve
changing to WWN binding.

10. For any devices automatically bound by PID, reboot the device to rebuild the

device tree (some operating systems require a special command to do this,
such as “

boot –r

” in Solaris).

11. For devices that do not bind by PID or have had their PID binding updated,

bring them back up and resume I/O.

12. Verify that all I/O has resumed correctly.

Hybrid Update

It is possible to combine the online and offline methods for fabrics where only a
few devices bind by PID. Since any hybrid procedure is extremely customized, it
is necessary to work closely with the SAN service provider in these cases.
