This section contains the procedure to replace an online Host Bus Adapter (HBA) when DMP is managing multi-pathing in a Cluster File System (CFS) cluster. The HBA World Wide Port Name (WWPN) changes when the HBA is replaced.
Following is the procedure to hotswap an online Host Bus Adapter on an M5000 server:
To replace an online Host Bus Adapter (HBA) on an M5000 server

Select the HBA to dump the portap and get the WWPN:

Alternately, you can run the fcinfo hba-port Solaris command to get the WWPN(s) for the HBA ports.
# vxdmpadm disable ctrl=<>
# cfgadm -c unconfigure iou#0-pci#1
Look for console messages to check if the cfgadm command is unsuccessful.
If the cfgadm command is unsuccessful, proceed to troubleshooting using the server hardware documentation. Check the Solaris 10 patch level recommended for dynamic reconfiguration operations and contact Oracle support for further assistance.

# cfgadm -al | grep -i fibre

The reinserted card shows up as follows:
console messages iou 0-pci 1 unknown disconnected unconfigured unknown
# cfgadm -c configure iou 0-pci 1
console messages Oct 24 16:21:57 m5000sb0 pcihp: NOTICE: pcihp (pxb_plx2): card is inserted in the slot iou#0-pci#1 (pci dev 0)

If I/O operations are running correctly on all paths, then the dynamic HBA replacement operation is complete.
