If the STATE column shows DISABLED, the device has been removed from
VxVM. The following shows an example of executing the command:
If there is more than one candidate for the controller number to be
assigned in step 4, you might not be able to remove devices from VxVM
in one operation. In this case, change the controller number you changed
in step 4 to another controller number that was displayed using the
vxdmpadm command, and then perform steps 5 and 6 again.
