You don't need to unconfigure first.
Also, depending on your setup, you may not want to configure all devices on the
adapter.
I tend to be more granular and run "cfgadm -c configure cX::WWPN" where WWPN
is the world wide number of the device you would like to configure. You also
may be able to do this at the lun level (which would be cX::WWPN,LUN), but I've
never tried to, nor do I have any real reason to.
