IBM i Global

I have a Power 9 with internal disks.  The disks are hosted by an lpar of IBM i to other lpars of IBM i and to an lpar of AIX.

The AIX guy is done with a lot of space he was using.  His words:

<snip>

ok, based on Chad direction I have removed the following filesystems with data from 2016:

/dev/tsmsp1_lv    466.00      3.43  100%       18     1% /tsmsp1

/dev/tsmsp2_lv    466.00      3.43  100%       18     1% /tsmsp2

/dev/tsmsp3_lv    440.00      7.43   99%       14     1% /tsmsp3

/dev/tsmsp4_lv    999.00      1.87  100%       30     1% /tsmsp4

I then removed the volume groups which were made up of the following disks. Rob you should be able to reclaim these disks:

...

hdisk63 -->

  hdisk63          U9009.41A.78058E0-V8-C382-T1-L8c00000000000000  Virtual SCSI Solid State Drive

...

</snip>

I was able to tie back the C382 to a particular WRKNWSD by matching the C382 to the resource tied to that WRKNWSD.

I cracked the code on L8c00000000000000.  The L8 is known but to God.  The third character is a single character hex digit which ranges from 0-f. 0 = sequence 1 on the entries shown on WRKNWSSTG, f=16 (remember, starts with 0).  You are limited to 16 storages spaces to a single NWSD as documented at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/create-client-partition-i-aix-or-linux-hosted-ibmi-server-partition-using-enhanced-signon-0

So this ties back to this entry in WRKNWSSTG

Name        Server    Seq
AIXVM04     AIX02      13

However when I run RMVNWSSTGL NWSSTG(AIXVM04) NWSD(AIX02) I get

CPD8F59 - Network server storage still linked to network server operating system

Instead of acting like a gorilla and just varying off all NWSD's associated with this lpar of AIX and trying again I got to thinking that maybe there's something the AIX guy forgot to do to free up the space?  I mean, when you're done with a disk on IBM i you have to do stuff like STRASPBAL, then go into SST and perform some actions.  Maybe there's something else they also need to do?

Any suggestions?

>Did your AIX gyu also removed the PV 

^--this:  your aix guy will need to remove the disk device from the o/s e.g "rmdev -l hdisk63". 

I don't expect that a reboot of the aix lpar will be required.

After removing the NWS on the ibm i, you will probably need to dynamically remove the client/server vscsi configurations from the host IBM i and AIX lpars using the HMC enhanced gui.  Avoid directly changing partition profiles 

When using VIOS for vscsi, the HMC gui will handle the whole process of configuration cleanup, but I don't think that is true of IBM i hosted disk.

With IBM i hosting (for IBM i, AIX or Linux client lpars) dynamic removal of storage is not supported!

Therefor the AIX lpar must be shutdonw first and the "NWSD" object on the IBM i host for the AIX lpar must the be varied off before the stroage can be removed. (also see my other answer to Roberts question).

So now I'm guessing we're down to:

quiescing the IBM Storage Protect app on AIX.

Shutting down AIX

WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*NWS) CFGD(AIX*) and vary off all shown

Then run the appropriate RMVNWSSTGL

WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*NWS) CFGD(AIX*) and vary on all that still have storage links (2 of the 3 will)

Start AIX and verify that both AIX and IBM Storage Protect look good.

Run the appropriate DLTNWSSTG

True?

/dev/tsmsp3_lv    440.00      7.43   99%       14     1% /tsmsp3

/dev/tsmsp4_lv    999.00      1.87  100%       30     1% /tsmsp4

I then removed the volume groups which were made up of the following disks. Rob you should be able to reclaim these disks:

...

hdisk63 -->

  hdisk63          U9009.41A.78058E0-V8-C382-T1-L8c00000000000000  Virtual SCSI Solid State Drive

...

</snip>

I was able to tie back the C382 to a particular WRKNWSD by matching the C382 to the resource tied to that WRKNWSD.

I cracked the code on L8c00000000000000.  The L8 is known but to God.  The third character is a single character hex digit which ranges from 0-f. 0 = sequence 1 on the entries shown on WRKNWSSTG, f=16 (remember, starts with 0).  You are limited to 16 storages spaces to a single NWSD as documented at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/create-client-partition-i-aix-or-linux-hosted-ibmi-server-partition-using-enhanced-signon-0

So this ties back to this entry in WRKNWSSTG

Name        Server    Seq
AIXVM04     AIX02      13

However when I run RMVNWSSTGL NWSSTG(AIXVM04) NWSD(AIX02) I get

CPD8F59 - Network server storage still linked to network server operating system

Instead of acting like a gorilla and just varying off all NWSD's associated with this lpar of AIX and trying again I got to thinking that maybe there's something the AIX guy forgot to do to free up the space?  I mean, when you're done with a disk on IBM i you have to do stuff like STRASPBAL, then go into SST and perform some actions.  Maybe there's something else they also need to do?

Any suggestions?

I have a Power 9 with internal disks.  The disks are hosted by an lpar of IBM i to other lpars of IBM i and to an lpar of AIX.

The AIX guy is done with a lot of space he was using.  His words:

ok, based on Chad direction I have removed the following filesystems with data from 2016:

/dev/tsmsp1_lv    466.00      3.43  100%       18     1% /tsmsp1

/dev/tsmsp2_lv    466.00      3.43  100%       18     1% /tsmsp2

/dev/tsmsp3_lv    440.00      7.43   99%       14     1% /tsmsp3

/dev/tsmsp4_lv    999.00      1.87  100%       30     1% /tsmsp4
