I have a problem unconfiguring a disk with a failing status in solaris 11.
I have followed the same procedure over the last few months and have never had a problem, but can't seem to offline a couple of luns on my sparc T5-2 server.
I offlined the disk with the luxadm command, asked the SAN administrator to stop presenting the disk and then tried to show unusable paths, but it lists them as failing.
I would normally unconfigure the paths, but it won't remove them.
luxadm -e offline /dev/rdsk/c0t6006016001603400F4708591BF92E511d0s2
cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN | grep -i unusable
shows nothing
cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN | grep -i failing
| c7::500601673ee02794,17 | disk | connected | configured failing |
| c7::5006016e3ee02794,17 | disk | connected | configured failing |
| c9::500601663ee02794,17 | disk | connected | configured failing |
| c9::5006016f3ee02794,17 | disk | connected | configured failing |
Ideally I don't want to reboot the server to tidy the paths up. There a lot of active luns at the moment, so I don't want to run anything which would upset them.
Does anyone have some advice on the best way to change the flag on the paths to unusable?
