Thanks to everybody who responded: Ed Rolison Steve Mickeler Doug Otto Oscar Arranz Ric Anderson Tim Evans Jonathan Katz Farzad Hejazi Vinnie German Valentin Georgescu Brian Witgen Steve White I got useful suggestions which boils down to the following: Is not posible to attach new lun's without reboot. There is, however, a workaround:=20 Configure more LUN's than you need and reboot, and next time you have = to add new lun's you can just use: drvconfig -i sd disks vxdctl enable If you have Solaris 7/8, you can use devfsadm instead drvconfig/disks = with the same results. There is also a small inconvenient: Every time you reboot with reconfiguration, you have to wait until all the inexistent lun's are = timed out. This takes a wile, so add lun's entries for future use with = caution. A normal reboot (without reconfiguration) does not seem to have this = problem (altough some people told me otherwise). Anyway, since we speak about systems which are seldom rebooted, the workaround could be usefull (in fact we already use it here for a = while, but because we keep the lun's entries for not-yet-installed devices at a minimum, almost every time we add more lun's than expected, and we = still need to reboot. But at least we can add some drives in an instant = without reboot, if there is an urgent need).=20 Thanks again !
