iSCSI and AIX 1

[JoeFFCU]

I'm using a SAN as part of our Disaster Recovery plan. I can attach the iSCSI to my AIX box just fine. I cannot figure out how to disconnect.

For testing I failed over to my backup SAN and AIX server and connected that just fine. Now I want to put them back in stand-by mode and that requires disconnecting the iSCSI initiator so it no longer attempts to contact the SAN which will be unavailable until another test or disaster.

If I reboot the server, it might cure the issue since I've commented out the line in targets for the SAN. But I don't want to reboot, and I don't want to keep seeing errors from the AIX not being able to communicate with the SAN.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

So I got an answer, thought I'd share -

Apparently this was simple and more to do with just disk management than iSCSI.

I used the rmdev to remove the disk, then I exported the volume group and now that box knows nothing of the previous iSCSI connection.
