Hard Drive stuck in populated state?

Hi all,

I ended up replacing a failed disk drive on my power 7. I had a few issues with unmirroring as it had a stale logical volume. I ended up finally getting it to unmirror the rootvg. I had an empty space in slot 3 so I ended up putting the new disk in slot 3. It configured to hdisk0 with no problems but I decided I wanted to move the new disk to slot 1 where the old bad drive was. I did a rmdev -rdl hdisk0 and ran diags. I took the drive out of slot 3 with no problems. I ran command to insert drive into slot 1. Now the drive is stuck in "populated" state. I decided to run cfgmgr again and the drive will not configure itself. I thought rmdev -Rdl scrubbed out hdisk0 when it was in slot3. I look in the errpt log and see sas fabric device errors when I inserted the drive in slot 1. I was wondering if maybe the ODM is conflicted or if I have possible bad slot?

on a side note, if I shut the machine down and move the drive to a different slot(same sas controller) while its mirrored(rootvg), will this cause any issues?

Thanks

lvdisplay

LVDISPLAY(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      LVDISPLAY(8)

NAME

       lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

       lvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--maps] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [Logi-
       calVolumePath...]

DESCRIPTION

       lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume like size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.

       lvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps (1).  lvs is recommended over lvdisplay.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       -c, --colon
	      Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.  N.B. lvs (8) provides considerably more control over the
	      output.

	      The values are:

	      * logical volume name
	      * volume group name
	      * logical volume access
	      * logical volume status
	      * internal logical volume number
	      * open count of logical volume
	      * logical volume size in sectors
	      * current logical extents associated to logical volume
	      * allocated logical extents of logical volume
	      * allocation policy of logical volume
	      * read ahead sectors of logical volume
	      * major device number of logical volume
	      * minor device number of logical volume

       -m, --maps
	      Display the mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and physical extents.

Examples
       "lvdisplay  -v  /dev/vg00/lvol2"  shows attributes of that logical volume.  If snapshot logical volumes have been created for this original
       logical volume, this command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and their status (active or inactive) as well.

       "lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes of this snapshot logical volume and also which original logical volume it is associated
       with.
