Trying to do some cleanup. Under the /dev/vx/rdsk and /dev/vx/dsk I still have the old disk groups and volumes. I would like to remove them but when I run a vxdg destroy mydg it returns with vxvm:vxdg: ERROR: IPC failure: Configuration daemon is not accessible. I tried doing a vxdctl enable but received an error: vxvm:vxdctl: ERROR: vxconfigd is not running, cannot enable. Can I use a rmdir and just remove the directorys and the volumes under them?
