    Hi,

    Kindly help me in deleting the disk from AIX system. System is showing PVID instead of hdisk1.

    I want to delete the disk with the help of odmdelete. Even after using odmdelete still the rootvg shows the PVID of the missing disk.

    What necessary steps are required to delete the disk using PVID?

    Regards

    To delete a phantom disk from the ODM use reducevg with the pvid

    of the following, (note: reducevg updates the VGDA but not the ODM).

    reducevg -f <vgname> <pvid>

    ldeletepv -g VGid -p PVid
    -g Required, specify the VGid of the volume group you are
    removing the physical volume from
    -p Required, specif
