Unmapping error
I get an error when i try to unmap 8 devices:
"Device reservation failed : A device in the selection is already reserved"
We were mapping these devices for a Solaris 10 x86 host, but i didn't know that HP-UX didn't play nicely with other OSes, so I used a FA tuned for HP-UX. When that was discovered, we tried moving/unmapping the devices to a different FA. Now something is holding onto those devices.
Is there any way to check what's holding onto those devices? and break that resutling hold (through ECC or CLI), or should we go for an SR on this?
Thanks!

You can check for locks on single devices.
symdev -sid SID -v list -lock DEV- Sweet, gave me the devices we're having problems with, said they're reservered, owned by my with an A- flag, which means and Advisory Reservation.... any ideas what that means? and/or how it could have happened?
I'll probable do the release on Monday (manager will be back in)... but thanks for the information!!
