Ok, lets delete old ID:

cli% dismisspd 89
Error : Pd id 89 is referenced by chunklet 96:1063

Failed. Deeping info:

cli% showpd -c 89

cli% showpdch 89
No chunklet information available.

For my surprise, there are some chuncklets in "normal" state.

The old disk was removed and the new one is "normal" at this time. What is possible do to remove the old disk ID89?

Hello, MAmmaGutt!

You're correct! Problem solved!

cli% movech -perm -ovrd 96:1063
Are you sure you want to move the chunklets?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
Move -State- -Detailed_State-
96:1063-8:78 normal normal

cli% dismisspd 89
Error : Pd id 89 is referenced by chunklet 96:1064
....

I was lucky: repeting "movech" for more 10x, "dismisspd" has accepted and the old ID was removed permanently.

Thank you a lot!

Best Regards,
Juliano
