Description
How to remove Sun StorEdge[TM] A5000 configuration information from a system.

Steps to Follow
This document explains how to remove A5000 configuration information from
a system. This procedure should be done if an existing A5000 is removed
from a system. It might also be a good idea to perform this reconfig
if problems occur when using luxadm remove_device or luxadm insert_device.
The user should consider the following prior to doing this...

     * The primary system disks are NOT on the A5000.
* This is written for just one A5000, however, multiple A5000's could be
reconfigured as well.
* Doing this could change device paths to the drives.   For example, c1 could
become c2 after a boot -r.If Solstice DiskSuite[TM] is being used to manage the drives,
this will destroy all paths to metadevices on the a5000.

Rename the old path to inst file.

# cd /etc
# rm path_to_inst.old (if it exists)
# cp path_to_inst orig.path_to_inst

Remove all socal entries from the path_to_inst file.

# vi /etc/path_to_inst

>>>>>>>>>>>Remove entries with the word socal in them<<<<<<<<<<<

Remove the device for the disks in /dev/dsk

# cd /dev/dsk
# ls
c0t0d0s0 c0t6d0s0 c1t0d0s0 c1t16d0s0 c1t20d0s0 c1t22d0s0 c1t4d0s0 c1t6d0s0
c0t0d0s1 c0t6d0s1 c1t0d0s1 c1t16d0s1 c1t20d0s1 c1t22d0s1 c1t4d0s1 c1t6d0s1
c0t0d0s2 c0t6d0s2 c1t0d0s2 c1t16d0s2 c1t20d0s2 c1t22d0s2 c1t4d0s2 c1t6d0s2
c0t0d0s3 c0t6d0s3 c1t0d0s3 c1t16d0s3 c1t20d0s3 c1t22d0s3 c1t4d0s3 c1t6d0s3
c0t0d0s4 c0t6d0s4 c1t0d0s4 c1t16d0s4 c1t20d0s4 c1t22d0s4 c1t4d0s4 c1t6d0s4
c0t0d0s5 c0t6d0s5 c1t0d0s5 c1t16d0s5 c1t20d0s5 c1t22d0s5 c1t4d0s5 c1t6d0s5
c0t0d0s6 c0t6d0s6 c1t0d0s6 c1t16d0s6 c1t20d0s6 c1t22d0s6 c1t4d0s6 c1t6d0s6
c0t0d0s7 c0t6d0s7 c1t0d0s7 c1t16d0s7 c1t20d0s7 c1t22d0s7 c1t4d0s7 c1t6d0s7

In this case, c0 is the internal drive which holds the root file systems. The
A5000 is on c1. It has 6 drives on it, 3 in the front and 3 in the rear.

# rm c1*

Now, do the same for the raw device entries.

# cd /dev/rdsk
# rm c1*

Remove the scsi enclosure services (ses devices).

# cd /dev/es
# ls -l (note the link path to the actual device)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 71 Sep 11 09:41
ses0 -> ../../devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,socal@1,0/sf@1,0/ses@w508002000000f599,0:0
-------------------
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 71 Sep 24 09:53
ses1 -> ../../devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,socal@1,0/sf@1,0/ses@w508002000000f59a,0:0
-------------------
# rm ses*


Finally, remove the devices that ses was pointing to.

# cd /devices/sbus@1f,0 (this path was determined from the previous ls -l command)
# rm -r SUNW,socal*

Reboot
# init 0
# boot -rv
