Need help removing a LUN
Hello,
I recently lost a DAE in our old Clariion and would like to salvage the 2 remaining DAEs for use in testing. right now, it still sees the old LUNs (now the LUNs are in the Private folder) and storage pool, but when I try to delete them they confirm a successful delete but are still there. The same thing happens when I attempt a lun destroy from naviseccli (which doesn't error out, but goes right back to the prompt). I need a point in the right direction of what to look for, whether it is preceding commands or data I need to perform this kill with extreme prejudice.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Was it used by MirrorView/Sancopy etc at some point when it was good ?
See if any drivers are listed from ;
naviseccli -h arrayspa getlun -messner lun# -stack

After executing Brett's command see if it shows any drivers for mirror view or any other replication.
If yes then try the below command.
naviseccli -h -user -password -scope 0 mirror -Async|-sync -setfeature - off -LUN
HTH,
Sheron

Thanks Sheron, even though these luns didn't have any drivers attached, I tried running your command and got the responses that the system doesn't have Mirror Sync or Asynchronous software installed (tried running it both ways). Any other thoughts?

Thanks Brett@s - no drivers listed though for either LUN.

The logs tell me that they are offline. Is that correct?

OK if that is the case it would be best to investigate a nuclear option then. We can't afford out of warranty support.

Oh, this would need an EMC ticket, this will be elevated to engineering. You might require to capture KTCONs. Please contact clariion support.

The only nuclear option is to re-image the array. That message indications the Pool is off-line due to a metadata fault - engineering can try to fixed it, but even then it's not clear they could in this case.

Hello
I have the same problem . Can you tell me what is the procedure to re-image the array?

The procedure is a support-only process - you'll need to contact EMC support to get this done.

Gee, wouldn't it be great if the "delete" function actually worked?
We've seen this happen a number of times on Clariion systems that used to be Celerra, and VNX block systems that used to be unified. I gather that it happens because the array wasn't properly decommissioned, and/or cases like yours where a DAE goes missing. The only recourse has been to re-image the entire array, as others have said. It's that, or live with a useless DAE and constant error messages about missing drives and broken LUNs.
