Remove internal disk from Veritas Control

UNIX AIX
1

I installed new internal disks in my p570. They will be part of a new AIX vg. Unfortunately, we have Veritas Volume Manager running on this AIX 5.2 ml 10 box. Veritas has grabbed control of the disks. I want AIX LVM to control the disks.

I cannot get these disks free of Veritas:

<lspv output>

hdisk270 none VeritasVolumes
hdisk271 none VeritasVolumes

Thanks (in advance) for any help you can provide.

Hi.

Did you try removing the disk from Veritas with vxdisk rm ...?

Not really used Veritas so much. Perhaps a quick google can help you?

Hi,

please try

chpv -C hdisk270

as I assume they are not part of any veritas disk group and not initialized to veritas yet ?

Kind regards
