Deconfigure a CXBF Device in Volume Explorer

Use the following procedure to deconfigure CXBF devices using Volume Explorer.

Before You Begin

• If a CXBF device on AIX was configured using Volume Explorer (where the CXBF device was added to /etc/filesystems), be sure to mount the CXBF device before you deconfigure it. If an unmounted CXBF device on AIX is deconfigured using Volume Explorer, the /etc/filesystems system file will be out of synchronization with the actual file system configuration.

  If /etc/filesystems and the actual file system configuration get out of synchronization, a manual edit of /etc/filesystems is required to correct the inconsistencies. Remove the cxbf entry and uncomment the original entry (that is, remove "*Galaxy" from the beginning of each line).

• If you encounter errors while configuring or deconfiguring CXBF devices on the client, go to /cvd.log on the client for more detailed information concerning the error.
