This section describes common problems when performing SCSI configuration.
This section explains error messages and provides possible solutions to SCSI configuration problems. For more information about troubleshooting SCSI configuration problems, see cfgadm(1M).
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline: device-path Resource Information ------------------ -------------------------- /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 mounted filesystem "/file-system"
You attempted to remove or replace a device with a mounted file system.
Unmount the file system that is listed in the error message 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
If you use the cfgadm command to remove a system resource, such as a swap device or a dedicated dump device, a similar error message is displayed if the system resource is still active.
Unconfigure the swap areas on the device that is specified 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)
You attempted to remove or replace a dump device that is configured on a swap area.
Unconfigure the dump device 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)
You attempted to remove or replace a dedicated dump device.
Unconfigure the dedicate 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. Instead, 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.
