FC port_state is returned as "Unknown" in sysfs
Issue
- One of the two FC adapters used is in Unknown state and the discs visible are reached by a single path, how can I re-activate the second path without rebooting the server.
$ grep -Hv "zz" /sys/class/fc_host/host*/port_state /sys/class/fc_host/host2/port_state:Unknown /sys/class/fc_host/host3/port_stat:e:Linkdown /sys/class/fc_host/host4/port_state:linkdown /sys/class/fc_host/host5/port_state:online
