AIX

Hello,

I am trying to "deinstall devices.fcp.disk.array.rte" fileset from an AIX5.3 box. Have been unsuccessful so far. "smit remove" threw the below error:
FAILURES
--------
Filesets listed in this section failed pre-deinstall verification
and will not be removed.

Non-Deinstallable Filesets
--------------------------
The following filesets were selected for deinstallation. Deinstallability
checks indicate that they should not be removed from the system.

devices.fcp.disk.array.rte

<< End of Failure Section >>

FILESET STATISTICS

Pre-installation Failure/Warning Summary

Am I missing something here? I need to get the rdac uninstalled to work with MPIO. But do not seem to run into any sort of luck.. Need help!

Thanks.

You neither gave the information which command exactly you used nor what FC related devices where present at the moment of command execution. Hence I can give just some hints.
First remove all DS4K devices: rmdev -dl everthing with fc* and also dac and dar (that you probably did not do yet) down to the pci slot (-R) where the adapter(s) is/are located. This means that your FC disks won't be visible after uninstall.
Secondly uninstall the fileset together with its corresponding filesets. So command could look like this:
# installp -ug <yourdevicedriver>
You can look into smit.log to find out what command was executed with SMIT.

Shockneck, Your response gave me the required lead. I had deleted the hdisks but not the dac and dar devices. Deleting the dac and dar devices did the trick.
Thanks!
