Not able to remove VTD

UNIX AIX
1

Hi,

I am trying to remove 1 VTD from VIOS, its not able to remove and throwing the following error.

VIOS1$rmdev -dev xxx334.xxxxAs
Some error messages may contain invalid information
for the Virtual I/O Server environment.
rmdev: 0514-519 The following device was not found in the customized
        device configuration database:
        name = 'xxx334.xxxxAs'

The beauty is, it is showing available in lsdev. in that able to grep using 334

VIOS1$lsdev -virtual |grep  334
xxx334.xxxxDs   Available   Virtual Target Device - Disk
xxx334.xxxxAs  Available   Virtual Target Device - Disk

not able to grep xxxxAs

VIOS1$lsdev -virtual |grep xxxxAs

Noticed that there is not gap between VTD name and Available column in lsdev output, but don't how to resolve the space issue.

Please help

use the syntax provided my 'mnitinp'
But, also make sure the backing device (Disk or LV) is removed from the actual target (Client/LPAR).

"mnitinp" is the user writing answer #2 to your thread. Actually his hint was a very good one. You should thank him for that.

I hope this helps.
