`devfsadm -C` only cleans up the symbol links under /dev/ rather than /devices/
There are two possibilities the nodes under /devices were not cleaned up after you removed your target. 1. the nodes were opened or referenced, (devi_ref != 0) during you removed your target in other side, so ndi_devi_offline() failed in iscsi initiator driver, the nodes were not removed in device tree. So you saw them still in format(1M) even the device has already got gone. 2. If mpxio enabled, there could be one more potential reason caused by at least one of pathinfo *not* being freed successfully. During you removed your iSCSI target, that means all available path should be removed by mdi_pi_free() in initiator side. Once all paths freed successfully, the client node under scsi_vhci would be removed automatically. --Javen uddaraju varma wrote: > Hi All, > > Format command fails to refresh available list of disks even after > deleting the targets on the target side using my iscsi driver.
