Re: I can not remove a volume group
The only purpose to remove the volume group is to use the physical disk (140GB ) , exclusively dedicated to this vg, caprep, composed of missing logical volumens. The hardware path is 0/4/0/0.0.0 and the device files are /dev/dsk/c11t0d0 and /dev/rdsk/c11t0d0.
Is it possible to "initialze" it again? The "Unconfigure" action from teh graphic SAM administrator, can not be applied because " The physycal Voleme PV cannot be removed since some of its physical extents are still in use".
I do not mind to perform any force action if I can use again . I see it is impossible to clean the old lvols and vg data.

Re: I can not remove a volume group
You could try running pvcreate. The -f option is available to force the initialization of a disk that already belongs to another VG.

Re: I can not remove a volume group
Hi.
After reboot, nothing changed.
To the 'pvcreate -f /dev/rds/c11t0d0' comand, I get:
pvcreate: The physical volume "/dev/dsk/c11t0d0" is already recorded in thr "/etc/lvmtab" file.

Re: I can not remove a volume group
Try to boot into single user mode and then vgexport the volume group.
You can also try physically detaching the disk from the server and vgexport to remove perticular vg.

SolutionHello,
I have detached the physical disk ( out/put ) and finally it has been released. It has been a dirty operation, with a lot of information left in /etc/lvmconf , etc, and 1 missing volume group, I am trying to restore from backup. I think any information has been corrupted
Thank you for your valious help.
