Hi All,

ES40, HSG80
TRU64 V5.1A, patch kit 4. (T64V51AB21AS0004-20030206 OSF520)

I am trying to delete a device which does not exist on our system, but get
error;
hwmgr: HWMGR_REQ buffer contains bad parameters or sizes are invalid.

We have 2 ES40 which are connected to HSG80. Only one ES40 is booted at a
time, the other is on standby (redundancy). Periodically we down the live
ES40, at the HSG we disconnect and associate the disks to the alternate
ES40 and boot this. Hence we get null devices for tape and cdrom, and I
normally just delete these, then use dsfmgr to reassign to normal device
file. But this one wont go.... all suggestions welcome.

Here are the commands I've used;

MARS:root> hwmgr -show scsi

        SCSI DEVICE DEVICE DRIVER NUM DEVICE FIRST
 HWID: DEVICEID HOSTNAME TYPE SUBTYPE OWNER PATH FILE VALID PATH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    0: 10 MARS tape none 0 1 (null)
   48: 1 MARS disk none 2 5 dsk0 [4/3/11]
   49: 2 MARS disk none 2 5 dsk1 [4/3/12]
   54: 0 MARS raid none 0 5 scp0 [4/3/0]
   55: 3 MARS raid none 0 5 scp1 [4/1/0]
   68: 7 MARS cdrom none 0 1 cdrom0 [2/0/0]
   69: 6 MARS tape none 0 1 tape1 [1/6/0]
MARS:root> hwmgr delete -id 0
hwmgr: HWMGR_REQ buffer contains bad parameters or sizes are invalid.
MARS:root> hwmgr -show scsi -full -id 0

        SCSI DEVICE DEVICE DRIVER NUM DEVICE FIRST
 HWID: DEVICEID HOSTNAME TYPE SUBTYPE OWNER PATH FILE VALID PATH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    0: 10 MARS tape none 0 1 (null)

      WWID:03100032:" SONY SDX-300C **********"


      BUS TARGET LUN PATH STATE
      ---------------------------------
      1 0 0 stale


Thanks
Shaun
