Failed to turn off dmp_native_support tunable on r220r-03. Refer to
Dynamic Multi-Pathing Administrator's guide to determine the reason for the
failure and take corrective action.
VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-15690 Operation failed for one or more zpools
VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-15686 The following zpool(s) could not be migrated
as they are not healthy -
newpool p88
Cause
The underlying issue was that there were some ZFS storage pools, which were no longer needed, but were under DMP control.
Resolution
The ZFS storage pools (zpools) were no longer needed after checking their status:
# zpool status
pool: newpool
state: UNAVAIL
status: One or more devices could not be opened. There are insufficient
replicas for the pool to continue functioning.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-3C
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
newpool UNAVAIL 0 0 0 insufficient replicas
hds9500-alua0_372s2 UNAVAIL 0 0 0 cannot open
pool: p88
state: UNAVAIL
status: One or more devices could not be opened. There are insufficient
replicas for the pool to continue functioning.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
p88 UNAVAIL 0 0 0 insufficient replicas
/dev/vx/dmp/hds9500-alua0_380 UNAVAIL 0 0 0 cannot open
since the zpools were not needed, they were destroyed:
r220r-03# zpool destroy p88
r220r-03# zpool destroy newpool
the installrp process then continued fine
