If you didnt use -unmap in the command when you either deleted the view or removed the device from the SG you will need to use symconfigure to unmap the device.
symconfigure -cmd "unmap dev from dir ALL:ALL;" -v commit -sid XX -nop

Yep! Need to add "-type storage" to the remove dev command but other than that looks great

H:\>symconfigure -sid 64 -cmd "unbind tdev 0857 from dir all:all;" preview
Error in line 1 at symbol 'dir': syntax error
Syntax for unbind command is:
UNBIND TDEV < [: ] |
in DG | in SG > FROM POOL ;
Parser found fatal error in command file entry number 1
The configuration change session has failed.

Sorry, I used wrong command. For unmapping the dev does dev need to be in not ready state

Yeah -unmap only works when:
- Deleting a view
- Removing a device from an SG when it is part of a view.
You will have to use symconfigure

When you unbind a meta you only need to specify the head. The members will be unbound automatically

Did you add the -unmap tag to the symmaccess command when you removed the device from the stoage group? Because by default the remove command only removes the masking records but does not remove the mappings to the FA(s).
