APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • removing hdisks while using the AIX active / passive
    pcm / DS 3, 5 and 5K may result in a hang in the PCM
    

Local fix

  • this is an unlikely timing event and may be resolved
    by placing the hdisk in a defined state prior to
    rmdev -Rdl the fscsi adapter pr pci bus
    

Problem summary

  • rmpath/rmdev command run on the active path of an AIX active/
    passive disk(DS3K/DS4K/DS5K) may hang. All further IO to the
    disk may hang.
    

Problem conclusion

  • It should be ensured by using a timer that the fail over
    command is sent down even when there is no current IO on the
    active path of the disk.
    

Temporary fix
