HP Surestore SAN Manager LM Software manual Device Cannot be Disabled from a Solaris Node

A Device Cannot be Disabled from a Solaris Node

SymptomCause/Solution

When unassigning a device from a Solaris node, the Windows NT administration node displays a

Disable Device Failed error

message.

The device contains a mounted file system that is in use. Stop

any processes that are using the file system, unmount the device, then unassign the device with the SAN Manager administration application.

The device is configured to be used with third-party storage management software, such as Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager. SAN Manager has no way of telling a third- party storage management application that a particular device needs to be removed from its configuration. Before unassigning

device(s) in SAN Manager, manually remove them from the control of third-party storage management software.

The device is in use by an application that accesses it directly. SAN Manager has no way of knowing what program is using the disk in question, or how to make it stop without interrupting what may be a critical process. Before unassigning this type of

device, shut down the program that is using it and unmount the device.
