How to replace an E3500 internal fiber channel attached disk, as long as it's not the boot disk.

luxadm stop  

luxadm remove_device  

luxadm_insert

If for some reason luxadm doesn't work right check to see you have all the patches installed (Sun Service). Create new disk entries in /etc/path_to_inst

yank bad disk

insert good disk

drvconfig -p /etc/path_to_inst
(If you would like to create a new path_to_inst file to a different location for some reason you can run
# drvconfig -r -p /a/etc/path_to_inst)

devlinks

format (check to see new disk)

vxdctl enable

The real issue with the wwn's is that they are written to /etc/path_to_inst and /etc/path_to_inst.old so when they new disks are inserted there is a wwn mismatch. If you have the luxury of being able to reboot and create a new path_to_inst file, your proceedure can go something like

vxdiskadm  

mv /etc/path_to_inst /etc/orig.path_to_inst

mv /etc/path_to_inst.old /etc/orig.path_to_inst.old

yank disk

reboot -- -rsap (reconfig,single user,ask questions,new path_to_inst) answer the questions

format check to see if your new disk(s) are there

init 3

vxdctl enable

vxdiskadm
