Symptoms
A disk or disks that have been placed in an offline state via the
luxadm -e offline <path> command are returned to an online state
following a luxadm remove of a different disk.

Resolution
The luxadm remove command forces the link to reinitialize, using the Loop Initialization Primitive (LIP) sequence. This LIP process causes all devices to participate in loop initialization. Previously off-lined A5x00 disks will come online.
Other commands and actions that can cause similar behavior are
the luxadm -e forcelip, luxadm insert,a host reboot or any physical change in the loop.
See the following example which illustrates this behavior.
