FCP_dev showing as failing
Hi,

Setup - V880, Solaris 9, Multipathing(Powerpath), Zoned Fabric, EMC CX4960........ no volume manager

The following disks are showing as failing when running the following. Both disks are online, one is a snapshot of our Oracle DR the other is hosting a production database.

Code:
 
[root@sperdev01 /]# cfgadm -alo show_FCP_dev | grep failing
c3::500601623b202f83,17        disk         connected    configured   failing

Even though both disks are detected and online I did run the luxadm -e forcelip on the HBA's to try and set to unusable. This made no difference
and are still showing as failing.

Format is okay for each path to disk.

Is there anything I can run to change the failing status or is this a genuine issue with these disks?
