This section explains error messages and provides possible solutions to SCSI configuration problems. For more information about troubleshooting SCSI configuration problems, see the cfgadm(8) man page.
To troubleshoot the error cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline: device-path, note the resource information provided with the message.
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline: device-path Resource Information ------------------ -------------------------- /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 mounted filesystem "/file-system"
Cause: You attempted to remove or replace a device with a mounted file system.
Solution: Unmount the indicated file system and retry the cfgadm operation.
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline: device-path Resource Information ------------------ -------------------------- /dev/dsk/device-name swap area
Cause: You attempted to use the cfgadm command to remove a system resource, such as a swap device or a dedicated dump device, but the system resource was still active.
Solution: Unconfigure the swap area on the specified device and retry the cfgadm operation.
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline: device-path Resource Information ------------------ -------------------------- /dev/dsk/device-name dump device (swap)
Cause: You attempted to remove or replace a dump device that is configured on a swap area.
Solution: Unmount the file system that is configured on the swap area and retry the cfgadm operation.
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline: device-path Resource Information ------------------ -------------------------- /dev/dsk/device-name dump device (dedicated)
Cause: You attempted to remove or replace a dedicated dump device.
Solution: Unconfigure the dedicated dump device and retry the cfgadm operation.
If you perform a SCSI unconfigure operation and one or more targeted devices are busy, the operation fails. Subsequent DR operations on this controller and target devices will also fail. The following message is displayed:
dr in progress
To resolve the failed operation, reconfigure the controller.
# cfgadm -c configure device-apid
After verifying that the device has been configured, you can proceed with unconfiguring the device again.
