Hello Scott,

Mark gave good advise here for manual actions required to remove a block device 
.

For a complete description of SCSI block devices management in RHEL 5 you can 
find the "Online Storage Reconfiguration Guide" available online or for 
downloading at:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/pdf/Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-5-Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide-en-US.pdf

The chapter that describes block devices removal is online at:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html-single/Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide/index.html#removing_devices

It's also handy for LUN automated detection/removal the utility 
rescan-scsi-bus.sh .
Description is in the same manual, at:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html-single/Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide/index.html#rescan-scsi-bus


In case you use RHEL 6, the very same information is located at chapter
24 of the more comprehensive "Storage Administration Guide":
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/index.html

BTW, s390-tools is called s390utils in RHEL.

Hope this helps.
