Can't Remove Logical Drive/Array from HP P400
- by Myles
This is my first post here. Thank you in advance for any assistance with this matter.
I'm trying to remove a logical drive (logical drive 2) and an array (array "B") from my Smart Array P400. The host is a DL580 G5 running 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga). I am unable to remove the array using either hpacucli or cpqacuxe. I believe it is because of "OS Status: LOCKED". The file system that lives on this array has been unmounted. I do not want to reboot the host. Is there some way to "release" this logical drive so I can remove the array? Note that I do not need to preserve the data on logical drive 2. I intend to physically remove the drives from the machine and replace them with larger drives.
I'm using the cciss kernel module that ships with Red Hat 5.7.
Here is some information pertaining to the host and the P400 configuration:
