Re: remove volume group with Secure Path
Remove the volume group as usual:
1. lvremove any volume
2. vgreduce
3. vgremove
4. rm -r /dev/
Step 3 is necessary to remove any vg headers from all disks. This might be useful if you present the disk to another system.
Remove disk devices with rmsf and unpresent/remove the disk.
I'm not sure, if an /sbin/spmgr delete
My 2 cents,
Armin

Re: remove volume group with Secure Path
If you want to re-use the disks, clean up before you leave! :-)
This may seem cosmetic, but is sometime very anoying.
You present the disks to another host and want to create a new volume group on it...
pvcreate will refuse to work because of a (still) present VG header on the disks.
You're forced to use pvcreate -f.
You do this a few times, start to always use -f and have your first really bad "Oooops, wrong disk"-experience.
My 2 cents,
Armin

Re: remove volume group with Secure Path
I think if you don't spmgr delete, it shows it still in spmgr displayed as a failed disk. I guess I've never gone down that route, like I said I use spmgr delete.
