Re: AIX 4.3.3 / Failed hdisk3 / Replacement

Hi Mark,

Make sure nothing is using the mount fs. No routine, processes. And make sure you are not under the path of that fs as it will not unmount.

Subject: AIX 4.3.3 / Failed hdisk3 / Replacement

To All,

I have a 7025-F50 that has a failed/failing SCSI drive. It is clicking and putting tons of disk errors into the logs. This is a stand-alone disk with archived data on it. It is listed as lv05 hdisk5. It has one volume group on it with one file system.

I could use some help on the proper way to remove the drive and any associated "stuff" with it so that I can replace it.

I figure I need to unmount the filesystem, delete the file system, delete the volume group and then do an remdev on hdisk3? Then pull the drive. Then replace the drive with a new one and add all of the above back in.

I cant get the filesystem to unmount. I get this error:

umount: 0506-349 Cannot unmount /dev/lv05: The requested resource is busy

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Mark
