Resolution

Customer pulled out the FC cable from the fiber path, and is getting questionable output from  "vxdmpadm listctlr all" command.
 
#vxdmpadm listctlr all
 
CTLR-NAME      ENCLR-TYPE      STATE      ENCLR-NAME
=====================================================
fscsi2          IBM_DS8x00      ENABLED      ibm_ds8x000
fscsi0          IBM_DS8x00      ENABLED      ibm_ds8x000
scsi0          Disk            ENABLED      disk
 
Solution:
1) Run vxdisk scandisks to rescan the disks and paths
 
# vxdisk scandisks
 
2) Run vxdmpadm listenclosure all to get the enclosure name
 
#vxdmpadm listenclosure all
 
3) Run vxdmpadm getdmpnode enclosure=enc_name to see if the paths show as disabled.
 
#vxdmpadm getdmpnode enclosure=enc_name
