Operating Systems AIX Uninstall native MPIO driver on AIX Post 302415306 by ross.mather on Thursday 22nd of April 2010 08:00:02 AM

With powerpath you don't need to drop the disks - just varyoffvg each volume group and reboot. A utility is provided to put the rootvg under powerpath as well.

As long as 1 disk is running under MPIO you won't be able to uninstall the device driver - however this isn't recommended practice for AIX, as best practice is to have all your device drivers loaded in case you have to restore after a disaster.

Would you mind telling us why you want to uninstall MPIO?
