Managing RAID Units Under OpenSolaris
Removing a Unit
If you remove a unit through CLI, OpenSolaris will keep a record of the unit
in the system cache until it is unconfigured through the devfsadm or
cfgadm command.
See the devfsadm documentation at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/devfsadm-1m?a=view
See the cfgadm documentation at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/cfgadm-
1m?l=en&a=view&q=cfgadm
Note: After updating the firmware, a complete system shutdown and reboot is
required.
