DISPLAY /DEV/VG01/

[Carlos G. Ramirez Cruz]

Hi all!!

I work with HPUX 10.20 in server hp9000 class D.
When I run vgdisplay exist 2 disk vg01:

/dev/vg01 and /dev/vg01/

How can I remove /dev/vg01/ and keep /dev/vg01?

Thanks.

You will need to remove the /dev/vg01/ from the LVM structure. You will need to find out the LVs and data that reside under this VG and backup/transfer the info

Hi,

The vgdisplay list that you attached indicates that both volume groups '/dev/vg01' and '/dev/vg01/' are empty - both have 0 'Cur LV' (Current logical volumes).

I suggest that you try to remove '/dev/vg01/' by first deactivating it
vgchange -a n "/dev/vg01/"
and then removing it from lvmtab:-
vgexport "/dev/vg01/"

This ought to work but I have never seen a system in this state before.

Give it a try and post back the results.

Regards,
John
