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.
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.
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
on the client, the disk which has problem is hdisk0
