[OpenIndiana-discuss] scsi_vhci

Thu May 8 12:44:26 UTC 2014

Anytime there is an offline disk mpathadm crashes the system.  There's a
ticket on it https://www.illumos.org/issues/4085 but it hasn't been touched
yet.

The fault manage is what set the disk offline and it expects the disk to be
removed from the system.   You should have a record of it in the fault
manager. Type 'fmadm faulty'  These records typical tell you based on the
sas expander it is connected to and bay number the disk is in.

Assuming you have an LSI HBA, lsiutils can be used to turn the lights on.
However, I purchase santools for all my ZFS boxes, because it simply makes
life much easier to diagnose and locate disks.
