3.3.1 How to Update the Global Device Namespace

Manually update the global device namespace when adding a new global device by running scgdevs(1M).

The scgdevs command does not have any effect if the node running the command is not currently a cluster member or if the /global/.devices/node@nodeID file system is not mounted.

1. Become superuser on a node of the cluster.

2. Use scgdevs to reconfigure the namespace.

   # scgdevs
