Description
The Solaris internal bootdisk hot-pluggable replacement steps for “5.0 MP3 RP1” onwards should be as follows:
1.] vxdiskadm – option 4
Or
# vxdg –g
# vxdisk rm
Note: vxdiskadm option 4 will execute “vxdisk rm
2.] Offline the disk from the O/S perspective
# luxadm –e offline /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s2
Note: If multiple paths exist to the dmpnodes, you must offline all the related paths
3.] Clean-up the O/S device tree
# devfsadm –Cvc disk
4.] Clean-up VxVM
# vxdisk scandisks
Note: if the /etc/vx/disk.info is present, ensure the “0xffffffff” disk entries are deleted by running 5.0 MP3 command “vxddladm assign names”
ie
rdgv240sol16# grep -i 0xff /etc/vx/disk.info

rdgv240sol16# vxddladm assign names
# vxddladm assign names
Note: “vxdisk list” should no longer report the removed LUN “ie disk_1 aka c2t0d0s2 in this instance”
5.] Physically replace the disk at this time !
6.] Insert the new replacement disk
7.] cfgadm –al

8.] Online the /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s2 path(s)
ie
rdgv240sol16# luxadm -e online /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2
9.] Recreate the Solaris device files
rdgv240sol16# devfsadm -Cvc disk
