Hello,
We've got a situation on our 5.1 cluster. Running 5.1 pk4. When we add a new
disk device we know that you have to use hwmgr -scan component -cat
scsi_bus. However if this device fails or becomes unavailable how do you get
rid of it?
When I run hwmgr -delete component -id xxx I get the error message:
hwmgr: Error (95) Cannot start operation.
I know from other people and sites you can use "dsfmgr -Z rm_cluster_hwid
xxx 0" followed by "dsfmgr -Z rm_local_hwid xxx 0". Well in our case this
doesn't seem to clear up the entry. Previous suggestion from Compaq support
was that we should reboot, yeah this clears up the error. However, who
really wants to reboot a production machine every time we need to add new
storage or replace a failed disk. Makes a mockery of the hot-swap concept.
So if anybody has any experience with this or can offer any assistance
please help us.
