/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2   Device being used by VxVM

“cfgadm unconfigure” command fails here.

The way to resolve this is to disable the disks path from DMP control. Since there is only one path to this disk, the “-f” (for force) option needs to be used:

root@abc>/> vxdmpadm -f disable path=c1t0d0s2

root@abc>/> vxdmpadm getsubpaths ctlr=c1
NAME         STATE[A]   PATH-TYPE[M] DMPNODENAME  ENCLR-TYPE   ENCLR-NAME   ATTRS
================================================================================
c1t0d0s2     DISABLED     -          c1t0d0s2     Disk         Disk           -
c1t6d0s2     ENABLED(A)   -          c1t6d0s2     Disk         Disk           -

You can see the path now disabled from DMP.

root@abc>/> cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t0d0

cfgadm goes through fine.
