How to Update the Global Device Namespace

When adding a new global device, manually update the global device namespace by running scgdevs(1M).


Note –

The scgdevs command does not have any effect if the node that is running the command is not currently a cluster member. The command also has no effect if the /global/.devices/node@nodeID file system is not mounted.


  1. Become superuser on any node of the cluster.

  2. Use the scgdevs command to reconfigure the namespace.


    # scgdevs
