The ID should go when you do the odmdelete.

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?
 
Best regards,
