Full Discussion: Unable to remove VIOS disk
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

pvremove

pvremove(1M)															      pvremove(1M)

NAME

       pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  clears  the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume.	The device may then be used by the
       file system or by other volume managers.

       The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group.  The command only clears the LVM data structure on a  disk  if  the  disk
       does not belong to a volume group.  This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group.  If the physical volume
       to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume.

   Arguments
       recognizes the following arguments:

	      pv_path	The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       determines the language in which messages are displayed.

       If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)).

       If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)).

EXAMPLES

       Remove LVM data structure on the physical volume
