cannot delete logical volume with dead lun
Hello ,
I have the following problem:
I have volume group with two logical volumes , I dont need them anymore . but the luns was disconnected before removing them .
all lvm commands failed to delete them while luns are dead .
how can I delete LVs and VG while lun paths are dead , what is the current effect on the server boot ?
the server runs B.11.23 U ia64
Thanks for help

Re: cannot delete logical volume with dead lun
If you want to delete the entire VG, then:
1) Make sure the VG is not active -- # vgchange -a n vgname
2) Export the VG -- # vgexport vgname
The 'vgexport' will completely wipe out the VG without having to get rid of the LVs first.

Nope. The vgexport command removes all reference to those VG's from the system. You should check your /etc/fstab file though for any mount points listed that relate to the old volumes.
