So if you run /etc/vx/diag.d/vxdmpinq /dev/rdsk/c3t50001FE15005E90Ad6s2 what do you get? It certainly looks like the disks are still visible...

For example these are the paths to EVA80000_8: # ls -la /dev/dsk/*d6s2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 16:31 c3t50001FE15005E90Ad6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 17:39 c3t50001FE15005E90Bd6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 17:39 c3t50001FE15005E90Cd6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 16:31 c3t50001FE15005E90Dd6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 16:31 c5t50001FE15005E908d6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 16:31 c5t50001FE15005E909d6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Mar 1 13:47 c5t50001FE15005E90Ed6s2 -> ./../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Feb 26 21:57 c5t50001FE15005E90Fd6s2 -> ../../devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],2000/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],6:c However the devices definitely don't exist anymore. I've deleted the disk from the SAN long time ago. How would you remove the dangling device entries (without rebooting) if devfsadm -C doesn't clear them?
