Deleting a Path to an Existing LU by Dynamic Reconfiguration

Note

¢

You can delete an LU via dynamic reconfiguration only in Solaris 10 or

Solaris 11.

¢

If SVM is used for the volume manager, delete the path to the HDLM

device and then execute metaclear for SVM to delete the disk. Then,

execute metainit to re-create the disk.

¢

If VxVM is used for the volume manager, delete the path, execute the
dlmvxexclude utility, and then perform a reboot.

¢

Only data disks can be reconfigured dynamically. You cannot change

the configuration of boot disks.

¢

If paths are dynamically added or deleted from an existing LU, then

you cannot delete all paths to that existing LU.

This section describes how to dynamically delete a path to an existing LU.

.

Configure the storage system, switch, or other device to disconnect from

the host. To disconnect from the existing path, perform the following

operations.

¢

Set up the storage system (remove the mapping between the internal

LU and the storage port LUN).

¢

Terminate the connection between the storage port and the host HBA

port.

¢

Release the Fibre Channel switch settings.

¢

Release the settings for the host HBA and for the sd or ssd driver.

For details on how to perform these settings, see the documentation of

the HBA being used. You may need to restart the host, depending on the

HBA being used, its drivers, and the path configuration of the deleted LU.

.

Execute the dlmsetconf utility for creating the HDLM driver configuration

definition file and then update the HDLM driver configuration definition file

(/kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf).

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmsetconf

If an error message or warning about the deleted path is issued, ignore

the message. In addition, see the /opt/DynamicLinkManager/config/
dlmfdrv.unconf file to check that the file does not contain information
