vgreduce /dev/vg01_data /dev/dsk/c13t0d3 [disk2] [disk3] etc

Thanks for the quick response.

Already i assined this PV's and extended the Filesystem.
If i will do vgreduce,will it affect on VG data?

Well, if u will do vg reduce that means that the disks will come out of the volume group and once the disks are out of that volume group they wont be able to be accessed.

Hi:

If you added the disks to the volume group *and* extended the filesystem(s) as you note, then you are asking the same essential question as you did here:

The answer would be the same as before.
