Hi, I do not know whether this is the corect forum to discuss this, but I recently saw a post related to qla2xxx driver and thought that I may get some help. I'm using Linux kernel 2.6 and plan to use the qla2xxx driver. The driver documentstion says it has the "qlascan" command which can help in adding new disks by the following procedure: 1) First add the Disk to the HBA. 2) # echo "scsi-qlascan" > /proc/scsi/<driver-name>/<adapter-id> (The qla2xxx driver will rescan) 3) # echo "scsi add-single-device 0 1 2 3" >/proc/scsi/scsi (The mid-level will add the device) However, what I wanted to know was that how can I REMOVE a SCSI device from the HBA at run time? By logic, I believe that the sequence should be: 1) # echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 1 2 3" >/proc/scsi/scsi (The mid-level will remove the device) 2) Then remove the Disk from the HBA. 3) # echo "scsi-qlascan" > /proc/scsi/<driver-name>/<adapter-id> (The qla2xxx driver will rescan, and will remove the disk) Is the above sequence (for deletion of disk) correct? Can somebody help me out on this? I would really appreciate. Any pointers on how to remove a disk at runtime are welcome.
