rmvdev command
Purpose
To remove the connection between a physical device and its associated virtual SCSI adapter.
Syntax
rmvdev [ -f ] { -vdev | -vtd } [-rmlv]
To remove a shared Ethernet adapter:
rmvdev {-sea SEAdevice} [-migrate -auto]
To remove a Link Aggregation adapter:
rmvdev {-lnagg LnaggDevice} [-migrate -auto [-interface TargetInterface]]
Description
The rmvdev command removes the connection between a physical device and its associated virtual SCSI adapter. The connection can be identified by specifying the backing (physical) device or the virtual target device. If the connection is specified by the device name and there are multiple connections between the physical device and virtual SCSI adapters and error is returned unless the -f flag is also specified. If -f is included then all connections associated with the physical device are removed.
If the backing (physical) device is a logical volume and the -rmlv flag is specified, then logical volume will be removed as well.
Flags
| Flag name | Description |
|---|---|
| Removes the connection between a physical device and the virtual SCSI adapter with which its associated. | |
| -vdev | Specifies the backing device |
| -vtd | Specifies the virtual target device to remove. |
| -rmlv | Deletes the backing device. This flag is valid only for logical volume backing devices. |
| -f | Forces the removal of all virtual target devices associated with the given backing device. |
| Removes the Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) device. | |
| -sea SEAdevice | Specifies the SEA device. |
| -migrate -auto Migrates the settings from the SEA adapter interface to the physical adapter interface. |
|
| Removes the link aggregate device. | |
| -lnagg LnaggDevice | Specifies the link aggregate device name. |
| -migrate -auto Migrates the settings from the link aggregate adapter interface to the physical adapter interface. |
|
| -interface TargetInterface | Migrates the settings from the link aggregate adapter interface to the target interface when removing the link aggregate device with the -migrate and -auto options. |
