Vxdiskadm - suppress a device from view - BTW - this does do the controllers. Should create an entry in /etc/vx/vxdmp.exclude. Note - this does NOT suppress the startup scan by device discovery layer BUT it will suppress by the time the system boots and users can log in.
Can I ask why you want to suppress - depending on the driver load sequence - and this is seen with IBM Vpath ( sdd devices ) - but with latest ASL/APM this should resolve correctly - VxVM does know about other multipathing software.

I am using VxVM 5.0 MP3 on Solaris 10 SPARC. I use this command to disable a controller seeing by DMP, since i want the multi-path to be managed by HDLM. vxdmpadm [-c|-f] disable ctlr=ctlr_name After executing this command, the controller is disabled, but whenever i reboot the server, the controller is enabled automatically. How to disable a controller from a DMP permanently ? _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx
