[Orca-users] Sun Sparc - Replaced disk and Orca fails

[David Michaels]

David --

Have you tried "devfsadm -C"?  I've had to use this in rare instances, I 
think all of which were related to fiber channel disks, as they do some 
WWN magic that tends to leave junk behind more often than with scsi disks.

 From the manpages:

     -C    Cleanup mode. Prompts devfsadm to invoke cleanup  rou-
           tines that are not normally invoked to remove dangling
           logical links. If  -c  is  also  used,  devfsadm  only
           cleans up for the listed devices' classes.

One thing I'm confused about:

>When we reboot this problem goes away and orca works fine.
>I'd like to fix this without rebooting.
>

I'm guessing "orca works fine" is a temporary condition?  Seems to me if 
you reboot once, and the problem goes away, then there is no residual 
problem to solve.  Or am I missing something?
