cant' vgreduce

[hi_5]

after reduce the mirror
still can't vgreduce
vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t6d0
vgreduce: Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t6d0" could not be removed since some of i
ts
physical extents are still in use.

Make sure that none of the extents are in use by any lvols.

# pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c2t6d0

Any lvols on the disk need to be reduced/removed from the PV before you can reduce the disk from the VG.

I think you can't vgreduce the last disk from a volume group either.

If everything is empty, and there is only one disk left in the volume group, vgredice won't do the trick. Theough the message would say so.

Never mind.

vgdisplay /dev/vg##

post it please.

Hi,

First you find out physical volumes in the volume group.You can do it by

strings /etc/lvmatab

This will list the physical volumes allocated .

Now find out the number of Logical volumes present by

Vgdisplay -v /dev/vgxx

Mirror status can be checked using

lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol1

I doubt that U have extents of some logical volume still lying on the second disk.

U may have to backup data in that lv and do an lvreduce to remove that lv .(u may have to recreate the lv and do a restore from Tape in this regard.)

Check the PE status on each physical volume using

pvdisplay -v /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

vgreduce syntax is correct , it will work if all there is no allocated extents on the second disk .

These are my inputs , try and post ur findings.


Regds,
baiju
