Remove hdiskpower hard disks from AIX OS

Hi,

I have a AIX 5.2 TL9 running and we decided to remove some of the hard drives that are on a EMC Symmetrix box. What is a proper way to remove the disks with powerpath after I remove the volume group? Let's say I want to get rid of hdiskpower180.

1) Are these steps enough?
powermt remove dev=hdiskpower180
rmdev -Rdl hdisk183
rmdev -Rdl hdisk401
powermt save

2) What needs to be removed first, hdiskpower or hdisk?

Thank you



Pseudo name=hdiskpower180
Symmetrix ID=00019010xxxx
Logical device ID=0B0D
state=alive; policy=SymmOpt; priority=0; queued-IOs=0
