So you ran the 'odmdelete' commands from earlier in the thread ?
Try a 'synclvodm -v rootvg'

Remember that the disk in no longer in the system...

What I'm doing is umounting the filesystems ie /home /SYBASE125 etc...
That
way and using reducevg -d rootvg 000222305dee2c41 I'm deleting the PPs
but... I cannot umount hd8 hd6, etc...
Have to boot from disk or tape? There's another way to delete those PPs?

Look at this:

rootvg:

sybprocs sybasedb 19 38 2 open/syncd N/A
hd10opt jfs 3 3 1 closed/syncd /opt
I had PVs mirrored with mklvcopy into hdisk1, the IBM guy fisically removed
the disk... Now that this doen't belong to the system anymore.
Because I have partitions on the disk (apparently because the fisical disk
don't exists anymore...) I had to run this:
root # reducevg -d rootvg 000222305dee2c41
0516-914 rmlv: Warning, all data belonging to logical volume
hd1 on physical volume 000222305dee2c41 will be destroyed.
rmlv: Do you wish to continue? y(es) n(o)? Y
But got this error:
0516-1008 rmlv: Logical volume hd1 must be closed. If the logical
volume contains a filesystem, the umount command will close
the LV device.
0516-884 reducevg: Unable to remove physical volume 000222305dee2c41.
Do you guys understand the situation?

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,
