Are these all IBM LTO drives using the lin_tape driver? My experience on RHEL7 w/ FC-attached drives is that the devices show up automatically, though I can't remember if it removes them if the drive falls off the fabric. I suspect not, just so that a transient problem doesn't leave the system in an inconsistent state. You might try unloading the kernel module to get rid of the devices:
modprobe -r lin_tape And then ask udev to reprocess its rules and clean up device links it can't find: udevadm trigger That assumes the WWNs of the drives in your udev rules don't need updating. At that point, you ought to be able to re-load lin_tape: modprobe lin_tape If you're having trouble getting the drives to show up afterwards, you might try a FC LIP: echo 1 > /sys/class/fc_host/hostX/issue_lip Followed by a SCSI rescan: echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/scan On Thu, Feb 02, 2023 at 03:38:21PM +0000, Loon, Eric van (ITOP DI) - KLM wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I'm having some issues with missing persistent names after a HBA replacement > on a Linux server.
