cfgadm Device being used by VxVM

Just want to share with you all which i encounter the issue recently when I trying to unconfigure the faulty disk by using cfgadm command, But i got an error "Device being used by VxVM". Please follow the steps to fix the issue.

Checking the status of the fauly disk which is having more H/w error.

[root@unixrock ~]# iostat -en|grep -i c1t2d0
  ---- errors ---
 s/w h/w trn tot device
  0  133  55  188 c1t2d0
[root@unixrock ~]# cfgadm -al |grep -i c1t2d0
c1::dsk/c1t2d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
[root@unixrock ~]#

Trying to unconfigure the disk in OS level by using cfgadm command

[root@unixrock ~]# cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t2d0

cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again: failed to offline:
     Resource              Information
------------------  -------------------------
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0s2   Device being used by VxVM
[root@unixrock ~]#

Checking the status is Vxdmpadm level

[root@unixrock ~]# vxdmpadm getsubpaths ctlr=c1
NAME         STATE[A]   PATH-TYPE[M] DMPNODENAME  ENCLR-TYPE   ENCLR-NAME   ATTRS
================================================================================
c1t1d0s2     ENABLED(A)    -          disk_1       Disk         disk           -
c1t2d0s2     ENABLED(A)    -          disk_2       Disk         disk           -
[root@unixrock ~]#

while trying to disable the particular path c1t2d0s2 from vxdmpadm, getting error "VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-13080"

[root@unixrock ~]# vxdmpadm disable path=c1t2d0s2
VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-13080 Attempt to disable all paths through portid and enclosure failed. Last path to the disk can not be disabled.
[root@unixrock ~]#

Trying to disable the path forcefully and confirmed that vxdmpadm the disks state changed as disabled.

[root@unixrock ~]# vxdmpadm -f disable path=c1t2d0s2
[root@unixrock ~]# vxdmpadm getsubpaths ctlr=c1
NAME         STATE[A]   PATH-TYPE[M] DMPNODENAME  ENCLR-TYPE   ENCLR-NAME   ATTRS

Let we try to unconfgure the disk.

[root@unixrock ~]# cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t2d0
[root@unixrock ~]#
[root@unixrock ~]#
[root@unixrock ~]# cfgadm -al|grep -i c1t2d0
c1::dsk/c1t2d0                 disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
[root@unixrock ~]#

Yes.....we have successfully unconfigured the disk from OS level..... Thanks for reading this post and leave you valuable comments and suggestion.
