Cannot remove disabled paths while the path is part of a disk which has been imported

IdaWong
Level 4

Goal

we wanted to change the paths of the vxdmp disks without reboot and outage to the existing vxfs filesystems on Solaris 10

Result

Not possible.

Reason

as long as the path is in a disk which is imported,

 cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN|grep failing 

shows the disks as failing not unusable

even though the disk is offline in format and "vxdisk path" shows the path as disabled.

What I think about this

why can't there be a command to allow us to remove the path completely in vxdmp? the issue would have been easily resolved. I can't see why this function is not provided.
