SPARC: How to Remove a SCSI Device

The following procedure uses SCSI disk c1t4d0 in the example of removing a device on a SCSI controller.

1. Become superuser.

2. Identify the current SCSI configuration.

   # cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured unknown c0::rmt/0 tape connected configured unknown c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t4d0 disk connected configured unknown

3. Remove the SCSI device from the system.

   1. Type the following cfgadm command.

      For example:

      # cfgadm -x remove_device c1::dsk/c1t4d0 Removing SCSI device: /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@1,8800000/sd@4,0 This operation will suspend activity on SCSI bus: c1

   2. Type y at the Continue (yes/no)? prompt to proceed.

      Continue (yes/no)? y SCSI bus quiesced successfully. It is now safe to proceed with hotplug operation.

      I/O activity on the SCSI bus is suspended while the hot-plug operation is in progress.

   3. Power off the device to be removed and remove it.

   4. Type y at the Enter y if operation is complete or n to abort (yes/no)? prompt.

      Enter y if operation is complete or n to abort (yes/no)? y

   Note –

   This step must be performed if you are removing a SCSI RAID device from a SCSI RAID array.

4. Verify that the device has been removed from the system.

   # cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured unknown c0::rmt/0 tape connected configured unknown c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk connected configured unknown
