Hi all,

I have a MSA70 connected to a RHEL 5.8 box. Using the hpcuacli command...

I'm trying to remove a lun without success and I am not sure where my strumbling block is.

=> ctrl slot=1 ld all show

Smart Array P800 in Slot 1

   array A

      logicaldrive 1 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 2 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 3 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 4 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 5 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 6 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 7 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 8 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 9 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 10 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 11 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 12 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 13 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 14 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 15 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 16 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 17 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 18 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 19 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 20 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 21 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 22 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 23 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 24 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 25 (100.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
      logicaldrive 26 (1.9 TB, RAID 5, OK)

I want to remove ld 26. The disk is unmounted on the system and lsof shows nothing is using it.

=> ctrl slot=1 ld 26 show

Smart Array P800 in Slot 1

   array A

      Logical Drive: 26
         Size: 1.9 TB
         Fault Tolerance: RAID 5
         Heads: 255
         Sectors Per Track: 32
         Cylinders: 65535
         Stripe Size: 64 KB
         Status: OK
         MultiDomain Status: OK
         Array Accelerator: Enabled
         Parity Initialization Status: Initialization Completed
         Unique Identifier: 600508B100105439535A51304334003B
         Disk Name: /dev/cciss/c1d25
         Mount Points: None
         OS Status: LOCKED
         Logical Drive Label: AE904914PAFGF0T9SZQ0C4F03A

So when I go to delete the ld I get:

=> ctrl slot=1 ld 26 delete

Warning: Deleting the specified device(s) will result in data being lost.
         Continue? (y/n) y

Error: Unable to delete logicaldrive 26. Please verify that the logical drive
       is the last logical drive on the array and no other operations are being
       performed on it.

Now, as far as I can tell it is the last logical drive on the array (how do I check?)

Is there something I need to do on the OS side since I see there is a LOCKED OS Status.

Thanks in advance,

Nigel
