how to reclaim space in HPUX back to EVA3000

[Pando]

Dear Gurus,

I would like to ask how to reclaim space in HPUX back to EVA3000.

# strings /etc/lvmtab
...
...
/dev/vgxx
/dev/dsk/cyytydy
...
...

# umount

# vgchange -a n /dev/vgxx

# vgexport vgxx

Unpresent disk to EVA

Delete disk to EVA

# ioscan -fnC disk

# rmsf -H /dev/dsk/cyytydy --> is this correct?

# spmgr display –rv

# spmgr delete cyytydy

Is the above procedure correct?

Hi,

rmsf -H # where HW-Path is something like "0/4/2/0..." You can get the HW-Path of your disk with "ioscan -fnkCdisk"

Or you can try "rmsf -a /dev/dsk/cyytydy" instead.

I dont know what spmgr does, but I dont think its a good idea to remove the device file before changing the secure path configuration.
