AIX:Cfgmgr

After running cfgmgr / cfgdev you may see the following error:

Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgemfscsi -l fscsi3 ):
0514-061 Cannot find a child device.

This happens when a port is not cabled to the switch. Recipe to prevent the cfgmgr errors:

rmdev -dev fcs3 -recursive -ucfg
sfwcomm3 Defined
fscsi3 Defined
fcs3 Defined

Set the fscsi3 device to not autoconfigure.

chdev -dev fscsi3 -attr autoconfig=defined
fscsi3 changed

At a future date when you need to use the port, you can enable it:

chdev -dev fscsi3 -attr autoconfig=available
fscsi3 changed
