The disk was removed... but the problem is in the volume group... is still
looking for the ID of the old disk... that's what we have to delete...

I'd first get another PV in rootvg and see if aix will let you mirror stuff
up quickly before you go any farther.

I'm sure others have more ideas, I'm thinking of doing the below, then run
cfgmgr and the replacement PV should be assigned hdisk1.

odmdelete -q name=hdisk1 -o CuDv
odmdelete -q name=hdisk1 -o CuAt
odmdelete -q name=hdisk1 -o CuVPD
odmdelete -q value3=hdisk1 -o CuDvDr

Then of course, perform your mirroring steps on hdisk1.

I could be wrong.

Hi everyone!!!

                            I had problems with one disk (internal SCSI
hdisk1) called IBM technician... the "clever" guy said the disk was bad and
fisically remoed it without removing the logical partition copies and the
hdisk1 from the Volume Group...

Now I'm having this:

root # lsvg -p rootvg
rootvg:
PV_NAME PV STATE TOTAL PPs FREE PPs FREE
DISTRIBUTION
hdisk0 active 537 148
40..16..00..00..92
0516-304 lsvg: Unable to find device id 000222305dee2c41 in the Device
        Configuration Database.
000222305dee2c41 missing 537 146
16..13..00..09..108
hdisk1 active 537 537
108..107..107..107..108

As you see I have the new disk as hdisk1 good, but still have the old hdisk1
with its ID in the system, does anyone of you know how to remove it?
