Deleting Disks 6
Use this procedure to delete a disk from a selected file system.
Caution: When you add a new disk or stripe group to your SAN,
often an OS-dependent operation must be run to make the
added device recognizable by a host. Some of these
utilities can disrupt access to existing disks, causing access
hangs or failures. To avoid this, stop all file system
operations on the affected host before rescanning for the
new device.
