Goal
we wanted to change the paths of the vxdmp disks without reboot and outage to the existing vxfs filesystems on Solaris 10
Result
Not possible.
Reason
as long as the path is in a disk which is imported,
cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN|grep failing
shows the disks as failing not unusable
even though the disk is offline in format and "vxdisk path" shows the path as disabled.
What I think about this
why can't there be a command to allow us to remove the path completely in vxdmp? the issue would have been easily resolved. I can't see why this function is not provided.
