Caution:
When you add a new disk or stripe group to your SAN,
often an OS-dependent operation must be run to make the
added device recognizable by a host. Some of these
utilities can disrupt access to existing disks, causing access
hangs or failures. To avoid this, stop all file system
operations on the affected host before rescanning for the
new device.
Caution:
Deleting a disk used in a stripe group results in a complete
loss of user data and requires re-making the file system.
For information on re-making the file system, refer to
