Veritas InfoScale 8.0 Update 1 Release Notes - Linux

Exclude disks with controller operations fails to persist across reboot [4089044]

This is the current default behavior as the product does not store any controller related information apart from the controller ID. An alternative method to exclude disks is to use the dmp exclude commands described below.

Before running a firmware upgrade, you first disable a controller, perform the upgrade, and then enable the controller. Then repeat the same process for the remaining controllers; one controller at a time.

Workaround: Exclude disks for controller operations. Use the following dmp exclude commands:

# vxdmpadm exclude dmpnodename=<dmpnodename>

# vxdmpadm exclude product=<vid>:<pid>
