You can remove it by PVID.

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,
