cleanup of stale device special files thru devfsadm

Hi

The device special files (/dev/rdsk/*) files are not gettling cleaned up properly thru "devfsadm -C" command after a lun has been made unvisible to the host. Basically, open to such stale entries fail. Is there any other way to cleanup these other than using "rm" command. Following is the sequence followed:

.

1. Presented a RAID-0 EVA disk array lun to aSolaris 10 host

2. Executed "devfsadm -C" command in the Solaris 10 host.

3. Executed "format" command in the Solaris 10 host and created partition on the presented replica.

4. "ls /dev/rdsk/*s2" lists the replica cxtydzs2 entry in the Solaris 10 host.

5. Un-presented replica to the Solaris 10 host.

6. Executed "devfsadm -C" command in the Solaris 10 host several times with some delay in between.

7. "ls /dev/rdsk/*s2" still lists the un-presented replica cxtydzs2 entry in the Solaris 10 host.

Thanks
