Some how we have ended up with duplicate hdisk0s on different controllers. When we try and delete one of the extra arrays we get the following error:rmdev: 0514-517 The information provided to this configuration command was not adequate to uniquely identify the device. Provide more device information than the following: name = 'hdisk0'How can we delete hdisk0?

Hi

I think you need to look into your server ODM DB files located on /etc/objrepos.

Look for hdisk0 entries in all DB using a grep command (hdisk3 in my case):

root@Lynx /root >grep -l hdisk3 *
CuAt
CuDv
CuDvDr


then using the odmget command search inside each DB:

odmget CuAt | grep -p hdisk3
CuAt:
name = "hdisk3"
attribute = "unique_id"
value = "3520600A0B800012A1B80000005644F47C3405VDASD03AIXv scsi"
type = "R"
generic = ""
rep = "n"
nls_index = 0

CuAt:
name = "hdisk3"
attribute = "pvid"
value = "00c77bdec2eba8850000000000000000"
type = "R"
generic = "D"
rep = "s"
nls_index = 11


this way you can find out which object is duplicated and the using the odmdelete command get rid of the phantom one.

Hope this helps

Thanks that was EXACTLY what was needed.
