Can someone help me shed light on this issue. We are running 5.0 MP3/RP1 on solaris 10 on a number of systems connected to emc dmx arrays. If I remove a dg, unsetup those disks, remove visibility from the fabric, tidy up the dev fs using devfsadm and issue a vxdisk scandisks I get the following:
emc0_0486 auto - - error
emc0_0492 auto - - error
emc0_0496 auto - - error
emc0_65535 auto - - error
emc0_65536 auto - - error
emc0_65537 auto - - error
The first three disks are the ones from the destroyed dg, the last three are phantom disks that have appeared since the operation. If you rm the disks, and re-scan then you'll get these phantom disks re-appear with a new number from where it left off, in this case you'd get emc0_65538 and so on. I've tried cleaning up as outlined in
this techdoc but they just wont go away. Any suggestions or ideas welcome.
