    I looked up some docs (V210 Admin Manual) which says that you need to
    issue a "cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t0d0" command to take the
    drive offline before removing it from the server. True or false ?

    I tried the command and got an error (something like "SCSI bus error")
    and the drive is still in state "configured". I tried to put all my
    slices offline, moved the dump device, cfgadm still chokes ...

    Ideas ?

    Thanks,

    Alex...
