Question about unmap dev form FA
Hi
I have a question about unmap dev from FA.
Let me tell you that i have one dev mapped to 4 FA's please see the info below
Device Identifier Type Dir:P
------ ---------------- ----- ----------------
08ED 2100001b32074693 FIBRE FA-8A:1
210100e08bbb2875 FIBRE FA-9A:1
this info is for my produccion server and it is running now.
but i have the same device mapped to other FA pair, but this server wont work any more, i mean I'm going to turn off the server y I wont need this dev in these FA pair any more.
Device Identifier Type Dir:P
------ ---------------- ----- ----------------
08ED 10000000c96da746 FIBRE FA-8C:1
10000000c96bb3de FIBRE FA-9C:1
I know that I can unmapped this dev from FA 8C:1 and 9C:1, but how can i do that, because to unmap a dev I need to configure the dev to not ready, but the dev is running also in the FA 9C:1 and 9A:1
does any one help to tell me how can i do that, I mean, tell me the steps ?
Regards

1) Remove masking for unused HBA's
symmaskdb -sid 766 -wwn 10000000c96bb3de remove dev 57D -dir 8c -p 1
symmaskdb -sid 766 -wwn 10000000c96d5def remove dev 57D -dir 9c -p 1
symmask refresh
2) Write Disable device on directors
symdev -sid 766 write_disable 57D -sa 8c -p 1
symdev -sid 766 write_disable 57D -sa 9c -p 1
3) New map file containing unmap commands (cmdfile.txt)
unmap dev D57 from dir 8c:1;
unmap dev D57 from dir 9c:1;
4) symconfigure -sid 766 -f cmdfile.txt preview -> prepare -> commit
Everyone agree?230

Hi
Talking about unmapped device from 4 FA directors,
I'am going to apply this change in my production environment:
could you check my scripts:
The dev is 057D
The production FA are 8B0 and 9B0
057D 10000000c96d5dc4 FIBRE FA-8B:0
10000000c973f198 FIBRE FA-9B:0
10000000c96bb3de FIBRE FA-8C:1
10000000c96d5def FIBRE FA-9C:1
I want to unmap the dev from 8c1 and 9c1, but I don't want to affect my production FAs
Please see below my script
symdg create unmapkondordb
symld -g unmapkondordb addall dev 057D
symld -g unmaptcbsdev write_disable -sa 8C -p 1
symld -g unmaptcbsdev write_disable -sa 9C -p 1
unmap dev 057D from dir ALL:ALL;
symconfigure discover
/usr/symcli/bin/symconfigure -sid 0766 -f /home/ixeadmin/kondorunmap2.txt preview
/usr/symcli/bin/symconfigure -sid 0766 -f /home/ixeadmin/kondorunmap2.txt prepare
/usr/symcli/bin/symconfigure -sid 0766 -f /home/ixeadmin/kondorunmap2.txt commit

looks good. If 57D is a meta ..might as well dissolve it if you don't plan on re-using this device anytime soon.
you may run powermt check and delete dead paths/devices.230

Hi
Last question:
If i use a group like this, is my script ok?
symdg create unmapkondordb
symld -g unmapkondordb addall dev 057D
symld -g unmaptcbsdev write_disable -sa 8C -p 1
symld -g unmaptcbsdev write_disable -sa 9C -p 1

if you only have one device i would not bother putting it in a group ..just use symdev to write_disable it.
symdev -sid 123 write_disable 057D -sa 8c -p 1
symdev -sid 123 write_disable 057D -sa 9c -p 1

symdev -sid 123 write_disable 0BAD -SA 8C -p 1
so this will write disable device 0BAD only on FA 8C:1 ..it will not impact other FAs. Once you got them write_disabled on FAs you are no longer using ..go ahead and unmap.
