The question is, what was the modification data and time on that file?  The 
message comes from the /sbin/zfcp_disk_configure script which will create the 
file if needed.

The /sbin/hwup /sbin/hwdown scripts aren't really meant for mortals to use 
(from what I can figure out).  As far as I can tell, they're mainly intended to 
load/unload kernel device driver modules.

The zfcp_host_configure and zfcp_disk_configure commands _are_ intended to be 
issued by system administrators.  The first will bring the FCP adapter 
online/offline and write/remove the /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-?? file for 
it.  The zfcp_disk_configure command will bring SCSI LUNs online/offline, and 
update the /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-??? file that corresponds to the ZFCP 
adapter.  The syntax for both is pretty straightforward:
zfcp_host_configure 0.0.0800 1   to bring the adapter online
zfcp_host_configure 0.0.0800 0   to take it offline

zfcp_disk_configure 0.0.0800 <wwpn> <lun> 1 to bring the LUN online
zfcp_disk_configure 0.0.0800 <wwpn> <lun> 0 to take the LUN offline
