usually cfgadm is used for scsi disks. V480 uses fcal disk if im not wrong.
Thank you very much Incredible, you sure are incredible Smilie

Yes, you are right but this one being from SAN which I am not intending to use for my storage, I will leave her alone Smilie

Thanks again,

Good day.

Will do this replacement in 3 hours. Haven't got the new disk yet. By the way do you think I must run :

Quote:
luxadm remove_device /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2
while removing this failed disk? and after installing the new one label it using format. Or just go according to my steps mentioned in my first post in this thread with the addition of devfsadm -C command and not using cfgadm..

Thanks!

just pull out the device should be removed from the device tree, offlines it, and possibly even powers the device down.
After executing 'luxadm -e offline <devicename>', verified the disk didn't show in 'luxadm inq c?t?d?s2' or format. We then executed devfsadm -C to clear the devices from the /dev device list. Follow your steps
