Sun Microsystems 6900 Series manual To Reset the SAN Database on Both Virtualization Engines

▼To Manually Clear the SAN Database

It is occasionally necessary to manually clear the SAN database on the virtualization engine routers.

Caution –This procedure will wipe out the SAN database and will remove the configuration of disk pools, Multipath drives, Zoning, and VLUNs. After performing this procedure, the virtualization map must be restored to the virtualization engine pair using /opt/SUNWsecfg/bin/restorevemap. This requires a valid copy of the /opt/SUNWsecfg/etc/v1.san or v2.san file.
