works with persistent device paths (DSF). Use the
rmsf -v -L
command to disable the legacy
device paths.
# rmsf -vL
WARNING: This command may be disruptive to the system.
Before running this command, make sure you have first run
iofind(1M) and migrated all applications using legacy device
special files. Please refer to the man page of rmsf(1M) to
verify the possible side effects of the option '-L'.

rmsf: Removing special file /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s1
rmsf: Removing special file /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2
NOTE:
You can enable the legacy device paths any time by executing the
insf -L
command. Even if you perform I/O on legacy paths, it will be internally routed through the
persistent device files.
# insf -L
This command will re-install all legacy I/O nodes and legacy DSFs.

(You must respond with 'y' or 'n'.): y
insf: Legacy mode has been successfully enabled
Use
insf -Lv
to display the status as to whether Legacy Mode is enabled or disabled.
# insf -Lv
insf: Legacy mode is disabled
NOTE:
The rest of this document assumes that legacy path has been disabled.
