How to Move a Disk Cable From One Node to Another

Use the following procedure to move a disk cable from one node to another node.

1. Delete all references to the path you wish to remove from all volume manager and data service configurations.

2. Quiesce all I/O to the affected disk(s).

3. Unplug the cable from the old node.

4. Run the cfgadm command on the old node to unconfigure all drives affected by the move.

   Or, reboot the node by using the following command.

   # reboot -- -r

5. Run the devfsadm -C command on the old node to clean up the Solaris device link.

6. Run the scdidadm -C command on the old node to clean up the DID device path.

7. Connect the cable to the new node.

8. Run the cfgadm command on the new node to configure the drives in the new location.

   Or, reboot the node by using the following command.

   # reboot -- -r

9. Run the devfsadm command on the new node to create the new Solaris device links.

10. Run the scgdevs command on the new node to add the new DID device path.

11. Add the path on the new node to any required volume manager and data service configurations.

    When configuring data services, check that your node failover preferences are set to reflect the new configuration.
