zaxxon as well as johnf are correct: you probably have to make sure nothing is accessing the disk, which is probably not possible because it is part of a volume group and hence accessed - not by a user process but the filesystem driver.
Find out if this is the case ("lsvg -p rootvg") and - if you are doing this for testing purposes - better don'tproceed.
If you really have to do it: use "reducevg" to get the disk out of the VG, then try the "chdev" command again.
I hope this helps.

dh_auto_clean
DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1) Debhelper DH_AUTO_CLEAN(1)
NAME
dh_auto_clean - automatically cleans up after a build
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_clean [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate
command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a distclean, realclean, or
clean target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is
run to clean the package.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip
using dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually.
OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.
-- params
Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_clean usually passes.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
