Résolution

1.
Check if the pseud devices are still mounted. If so umount them and try the uninstall of PowerPath..

If still the issue there -

2.
Check with "fuser -c <pseudo device>" and 'fuser -ck <pseudo device>" and try the uninstall of PowerPath..

If still the issue there -

3.
If above 2 will not work, reboot the system to single user non cluster mode and try the uninstall of PowerPath.

If still the issue there -

4.
If still got the same "device busy error", please open the /etc/ system file and change line to "set emcp:bPxEnableInit=0" and reboot the host back in single suer mode. The value "0" will ensure in reboot PowerPath emcp modules will not be loaded (modinfo | grep -i emcp).
After the host come up try the unistall of PowerPath.

Informations supplémentaires

Before editing the /etc/system file please have a copy of the original file.
