aaccli core dumps ... looking for solution...

Hello,

I had some mirrors that had members marked offline, and before I buy new
disks and replace them i wanted to try (at least once) to verify them and
rejoin them and see how long they last.

So, I started aaccli and ran:

disk verify /repair=TRUE (2,1,0)

and then ran:

disk verify /repair=TRUE (3,2,0)

so i was running two verifys concurrently - I checked it by running `task
list` a few times, and they were both proceeding just fine.  So I went to
bed.

I wake up this morning, and the machine is fine, but I can no longer use
aaccli.  When I run it, it starts, I get the prompt, and I can run things
like `controller list`, but when I try to `open aac0` i get:

CLI > open aac0
Executing: open "aac0"

AAC0>
Floating exception (core dumped)r:  , State:DNE 100.0%


So ... it looks like the ANSI screen drawing screws up a little, as it
prints the core dump message on top of the status: done message ...

-------

So, I am wondering what to do ... I cannot check the state of my disks
without being able to open the controller ... but I also cannot reboot
this machine right now (since, presumably that would just make this
problem go away).

Any suggestions ?  I was thinking of running one of these commands:

    controller rescan - Rescans the SCSI buses, and updates all underlying
structures.
    controller reset_scsi_bus - Resets the specified SCSI bus.
    controller resume_io - Does rescan operation and then resumes IO after
pause_io.

But I am afraid to run them on this live, running system - can anyone tell
me if any of these commands, in general, are safe to run as an attempt to
"slap the controller and make it behave" ?

Any comments appreciated...
