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.
