If you see the status change it's an indication that you can at least access the disk correctly. This might go back to the IBM write and verify problem.
I think that you have an exclusive lock, either held by an other LPAR or VIO - you may want to check with the SAN team that the Zoneing is correct and it hasn't been zoned to an other server/vio.
Yes, you are right, it was coming from SAN to VIO Server and from VIO server to LPAR
Now the SAN Connection has been removed from the PSeries Machine
and I tried to remove the DISK from VIO Server but couldn't
Code:
# lspv
hdisk0 00c7780e79838606 rootvg active
hdisk8 00c7780e8945b5bb patchtest active
hdisk9 00c7780e8945b5bb patchtest active
# lsdev -Cc disk

hdisk8 Available 0A-09-02 MPIO Other DS4K Array Disk
hdisk9 Available 0A-09-02 MPIO Other DS4K Array Disk
# varyoffvg patchtest
0516-062 lqueryvg: Unable to read or write logical volume manager
record. PV may be permanently corrupted. Run diagnostics
0516-012 lvaryoffvg: Logical volume must be closed. If the logical
volume contains a filesystem, the umount command will close
the LV device.
0516-942 varyoffvg: Unable to vary off volume group patchtest.
How can I remove the volume group and the disks ? thanks
I am confused as to how the disk is coming to client?
Have you created a VG on VIOS, created LV and giving those LV's as vscsi disks to client? or you have mapped the whole disk to client?
If your answer is latter then you cannot create a VG on VIOS.
Can you provide the below info
Code:
On VIOS (as padmin)
lsdev -slots
lsmap -vadapter vscsiX -all X=client ID
lspv -free
Now as root
lsvg -l patchtest
lsvg -p patchtest
The Disk were created on SAN then it were mapped to VIO Server
From VIO server it was mapped to the LPAR
The disk in question on VIO Server is hdisk8 and hdisk9 with the volume group called patchtest. I was able to remove hdisk8 with rmdev -dl command.
but I could not remove hdisk9
