Removing a Sun StorEdge A5200 Array

■“Removing a FC-Tape Drive” on page 126

Use the luxadm remove_device command to hot remove a disk drive, enclosure, or chain of enclosures. This command interactively guides you through the hot removal of one or more devices.

In the Sun StorEdge A5200 disk array, the remove_device command of the luxadm command performs the following functions:

■Checks whether the device is busy and, if so, warns you

■Takes the device offline (this fails if the disk is open)

■Sends notice when device can be safely removed.

■Indicates which device to remove by a blinking activity LED on the enclosure

■Requests confirmation that the list is as expected

■Removes the logical device names for the device that was removed

For additional information, see the luxadm (1M) man page.
