Use the CVSnap Tool to defunc and delete a CXBF device.

NOTE: After you defunc and delete a device, Volume Explorer will no longer be able to detect it; thus the following commands should be run with extreme caution and only when required.

To defunc and delete a CXBF device:

1. From the command line, type one of the following, depending on your operating system, and press Enter:

   • For Unix: usr/sbin/cvsnap
   • For Linux: sbin/cvsnap

2. At the cvsnap> prompt, type defunc device=<deviceID> and press Enter.

   For example:
   defunc device=c1t0d6s0

   Sample output:
   defunc device=c1t0d6s0
   device c1t0d6s0 marked defunct.

3. At the cvsnap> prompt, type delete device=c1t0d6s0 and press Enter.

4. To exit, at the cvsnap> prompt, type quit and press Enter.

5. Next, the cxbf-bootscript1.rc and cxbf-bootscript2.rc files in /usr/sbin need to be edited. These files are based on CXBF devices present, and are automatically generated every time a new CXBF device is detected. Edit these two files to remove the entries corresponding to the device you just deleted.

6. Verify that the device you just deleted no longer appears, using the procedure detailed in Display All CXBF Devices.
