To delete a phantom disk from the ODM use reducevg with the pvid
instead of the disk name. You are running some command such as lsvg
or varyonvg and it is griping about a disk that is no longer findable
right? In that warning message, it should give you a pvid. Try one
of the following, (note: reducevg updates the VGDA but not the ODM).

reducevg -f

ldeletepv -g VGid -p PVid
-g Required, specify the VGid of the volume group you are
removing the physical volume from
-p Required, specify the PVid of the PV to be removed
