Cannot remove a physical disk from a VM

Terry PhelpsFeb 19 2014 — edited Feb 19 2014

I'm running Oracle VM 3.2.4. I have added and removed physical disks from VMs many times without any problem. Today I cannot remove a physical disk.

No doubt it is related to what I did just before this: I resized the LUN. I do NOT have any Oracle VM storage plugins. My SAN is an IBM XIV, if it matters to you. Here's what I think I did:

Unmounted the filesystem in the VM.

Removed the partition on the LUN, since I was happy to completely wipe out the disk.

From the SAN, I resized the LUN from 16 to 32 GB.

I did a 'rescan physical disks' on each Oracle VM server, in the fond hope that he would see the new LUN size, and things would be okay. (But I've NEVER had the 'rescan physical disks' from OVMM do anything. So, I did what I always do when I add or remove a LUN...)

On each Oracle VM server, I did a "rescan-scsi-bus.sh". This has always caused the OVMM to update his list of physical disks. But this time, nothing happened.

Okay, I thought, I'll remove the physical disk from the VM, remove it from OVMM, un-present it from the SAN, and add it all back again.

I edit the VM, and removed the physical disk, like I've done many times, and hit OK. It thinks for many seconds, and this FAILs. I'll paste in the details, after I'm finished writing here.

So, I can't remove the LUN from the VM, and I can't remove the LUN from the "FibreChannel Volume Group", because it's mapped into a VM.

I have restarted OVMM, but that didn't do anything.

Any ideas??

Okay, here are the error details:
