Operating Systems AIX Unable to remove VIOS disk Post 302923761 by ibmtech on Tuesday 4th of November 2014 11:40:49 AM

Ok, so LV is given as disk to client.
Do this
On VIOS (as root)
Code:
lsvg -o
lsvg -l <vgname>

In which VG do you find the LV testpatch?

Now go to client and do
rmdev -Rdl hdisk0

Now go to VIOS (run as padmin)
rmvdev -vtd vtscsi31
The above command will remove the mapping from vhost2 for that LV.

If you run cfgmgr on client you won't find the hdisk0 now.

Now remove the LV testpatch from VIOS
rmlv -f testpatch
If the VG has NO more LVs mapped to any other partition then it will varyoff, if not then you varyoffvg the VG
Code:
varyoffvg <vgname>
exportvg <vgname>
rmdev -Rdl hdisk9

NAME
volreattach - Reattaches disk drives that have once again become accessible SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/volreattach [-rb] [accessname...] /usr/sbin/volreattach -c accessname OPTIONS
The volreattach utility has the following options: Calls the volrecover utility to attempt to recover stale plexes of any volumes on the failed disk. Performs the reattach operation in the background. Checks whether a reattach is possible. No operation is performed, but the name of the disk group and disk media name at which the disk can be reattached is displayed. DESCRIPTION
The volreattach utility attempts to reattach disks using the same disk group and media names they had before detachment. This operation may be necessary if a disk has a transient failure, or if some disk drivers are unloaded or unloadable when the Logical Storage Manager is started, causing disks to enter the failed state. If the problem is fixed, the volreattach command can be used to reattach the disks without plexes being flagged as stale, as long as the reattach happens before any volumes on the disk are started. The volreattach command is called from the voldiskadm menus as part of disk recovery. The volreattach utility tries to find a disk with a disk group and disk ID matching that of the disk(s) being reattached. If the matching disk is found, the reattach operation may still fail if the original cause (or some other cause) for the disk failure still exists. EXIT CODES
A zero exit status is returned if it is possible to perform a reattach. Otherwise, non-zero is returned. SEE ALSO
