Cannot remove devices from HPUX 11.31 system

I am trying to remove devices from an HPUX 11.31 system after unmasking them from an EMC array. The unmasking caused the ioscan to give some NO_HW devices:

# ioscan -kfnNCdisk
.
.
.
disk 2284 64000/0xfa00/0x3f6 esdisk NO_HW DEVICE EMC SYMMETRIX
/dev/disk/disk2284 /dev/rdisk/disk2284
disk 2285 64000/0xfa00/0x3f7 esdisk NO_HW DEVICE EMC SYMMETRIX
/dev/rdisk/disk2285
disk 2286 64000/0xfa00/0x3f8 esdisk NO_HW DEVICE EMC SYMMETRIX
/dev/disk/disk2286 /dev/rdisk/disk2286

Now when I try to rmsf I get:

# rmsf -H 64000/0xfa00/0x3f8
Device at 64000/0xfa00/0x3f8 is busy. Cannot remove.

The only thing I can think of that would still be locking these devices would be VxVM. I've tried to reset VxVM and am still getting this error. Any ideas?
