In this example, the mpath6 device contains two paths:

-- /dev/sdf at Host 1, Channel 0, Target 0, LUN 2

--/dev/sde at Host 0, Channel 0, Target 0, LUN 2

3 Flush the multi-pathing device mapping using the following command:

# multipath -f /dev/mapper/mapth_x

where mapth_x is the device you want to delete.

4 Delete the paths related with this device using the following command:

# echo 1 > /sys/block/sd_x/device/delete

where sd_x is the SD node (disk device) returned by the multipath

command. Repeat this command for all paths related to this device.
For example:

#echo 1 > /sys/block/sdf/device/delete

#echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/delete

5 Remove mapping from MDSM, or delete the LUN if necessary.
6 If you want to map another LUN or increase volume capacity, perform this

action from MDSM.

NOTE:

If you are only testing LUN removal, you can stop at this step.

7 If a new LUN is mapped or volume capacity is changed, run the following

command:
# rescan_dm_devs

8 Use the multipath -ll command to verify that:

• If a new LUN is mapped, the new LUN is detected and given a multi-

pathing device node

• If you increased volume capacity, the new capacity is displayed.
