Hi

I wanted to know what command can I use to perform a rescan
in Solaris10 u4/u5 64 bit machine.

I know once the disks are added we can perform a rescan
using the following commands

drvconfig-->disks--> cfgadm

OR

devfsadm

But they will detect the disks and once the disks are remove
the entries are still shown unless the disks are removed.

So is there another command or a script that could help me
find that disks were removed from my solaris machine.
