[OpenIndiana-discuss] scsi_vhci

Thu May 8 08:45:04 UTC 2014

It is a real disk (plugged in) and the system is located in another city.I probably will have to go there tomorrow but was trying to solve it temporarily over the internet by  unconfiguring the disk if I can locate it somehow.
Another symptom: mpathadm list lu crashes the system.And I always have the message : one or more I/O deviced have been retired. I suspect it has to do with this

Thanks,
R

Sorry.I have also removed and recreated the path_to_install, disabled and re-enabled sas multipath (dual expander jbod)by stmsboot -d and -e.When multipath is disable this message does not appear (and also the disk does not appear).
