where <x> is the numerical element of the spd number and <n> is
the interval between the retries specified by the retry count
parameter.
Turning Failback Off
and On
The syntax for changing the a device’s failback mode is
setsp -l<x> -f{0|1}
where <x> is the spd number (see “Specifying a Device for setsp”
on page 25) and the
-f option takes one of two arguments:
•
-f0 turns failback off;
•
-f1 turns failback on.
Dynamic Device Detection
You may be able to add new storage devices and place them under
SVA Path's control without requiring a reboot of the host. This is
also known as dynamic LUN allocation.
To add a fibre channel device to an existing path perform the
following steps after the devices are connected:
1. Run
ioscan and verify that the new storage resource is rec-
ognized by the system:
# ioscan -fn
2. Run the insf command to generate the special device files
for the new storage:
# insf -e
3. Have SVA Path scan the new device for alternate paths:
# sppath -v
4. Create a SVA Path configuration file that includes the new
device:
# setsp -g
# setsp -T -l <new_spd_number>
