How can I delete c2t0d0s1, s2, s3 ????

[???_185]

on HP-UX 11.23 (IA)
There's only 2 internal disks in my server.
c2t0d0, c2t1d0.
Boot disk is c2t1d0.
I know on IA, boot disk needs 3 partitions.
(c2t1d0s1, c2t1d0s2, c2t1d0s3)
But remaining disk also has 3 partitions.
c2t0d0s1, c2t0d0s2, c2t0d0s3.

How can I delete these partitions?
So as to ioscan shows only c2t0d0, not c2t0d0s1,etc.

Thanks :-)

Hi zungwon,

Please be careful when issuing these commands. Make sure you are doing this on other disk and defnitely not on boot disk.

In your case..

idisk -R /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0

After this command, you need to manually remove the partitions..with the following commands.

rmsf /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1
rmsf /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2
rmsf /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s3
rmsf /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s1
rmsf /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s2
rmsf /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s3

(P.S - I hope you haven't mirrored your boot disk.)

Hi

I hope the second disk is the mirror disk of the first disk (boot disk) due to that this partition are populated in the second disk also
If you are not planning to boot through second disk any time you can proceed deleting the partition using above steps

Or else its not advisble to remove those

Hi,

As already mentioned in my previous post, I do agree with Dinesh.

If you want to make sure, it is mirrored, see the output of..

lvlnboot -v
vgdisplay -v vg00

If you can paste the output in this forum , we can tell you is it safe to follow the procedure, given in my previous post.
