Mark disk as unused doen't clear the usage

Jacques Carriere — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:48:37 GMT

Good day,

From our XP12000, I added many luns previously "used" on another server recently retired, and now I am not able to make them "unused' for my new server. In the "HP-UX Disks and File Sustems Tool" I see disks unused and many lableled "LVM" that I wan to change to "unused".

The "Mark disk as Used' doesn't work. Is there a line command to make my new lun selection "unused".

thanks,

Jacques

It is not clear how you are determining that the LUNS are "Used". When you vgexport a volume gbroup, the original LVM information is still on the LUNs. You must use pvremove to clear the LVM information on the LUNs. That removes the LVM code so that a pvcreate will succeed without using the -f (force) option.
