Removing LUNS from VA7400 array without StorageWorks.

Hi All,
I've inherited a virtual array that I want to get going on an N class HP 9000 running hp-ux 11.23.
The LUNS on the disk array have been formed, I believe, with storageworks or similar. I do not have that software. Can I destroy the LUNS with lvm? or ..... (how)?

Can I use the array as an LVM volume group etc?

Yes you can use the luns from VA as any other disk.
