the easy fix is
powermt check and ans y and that will removve the dead
paths
then rerun cfgmgr 2x
should bring back deag degrade paths..

We received adapter errors in our error report. They
are all FSCSI_ERR4
errors. At this time, it appears that the volume
group is still OK, but we
are seeing errors in the errorlog.
I've called IBM and they are coming out to replace
the adapter.
Here is what I'm am proposing to do:

1) unmount all filesystems relating to the volume
group.
2) vary the volume group offline
3) rmdev -Rdl the fscsi1 device
4) have the IBM CE physically replace the card
5) Make the necessary changes on the fabric switch
(due to changes in the
WWN on the card)
6) Make necessary changes on the Shark (due to
changes in the WWN on the
card)
7) run cfgmgr
8) import the volume group

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Drew
