Remove Disk from old EMC-Storage

[KonradFL]

Hello

My forerunner left behind a bad system and I'm a rookie.

So, they removed (Physically disconnected) a EMC DiskStorage without remove the old disk. They only added the new disk from the new storage.

So I have following message, when I do a vgdisplay:

ServerName:/# vgdisplay -v | grep Name
Information in "/etc/lvmtab" differs from that in "/etc/lvmpvg".
Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c14t0d0" does not belong
to volume group "/dev/vg10".

...

VG Name                     /dev/vg10
   LV Name                     /dev/vg10/lv_oracle
   LV Name                     /dev/vg10/lv_users
   LV Name                     /dev/vg10/lv_users_oracle
   LV Name                     /dev/vg10/lv_users_ora2
   PV Name                     /dev/dsk/c24t0d0

   PV Name                     /dev/dsk/c22t0d0 Alternate Link

ioscan -fnc disk don't see this disk.

Any Idea, how I can remove this 'ghost'-disk now?

Thanks and Regards, KonradFL

Try rebuilding lvmtab:

mv /etc/lvmtab lvmtab.org

vgscan -a

[Ruel Alojado]

you can remove the ghost disk using

vgreduce -f vg10 /dev/dsk/c14t0d0

or simply vgreduce -f vg10

What version of ux? If you are running verion 11.31, better to use persistent disk than legacy (ctd) in your vg.

if version 3, you can convert it using vgdsf command.
