lvremove using Serviceguard

[Mark A. Smith]

I want to remove a logical volume and retain the space in the VG so I can lvextend other logical volumes in the VG, do I need to use the -A option with lvremove ?

lvremove -A -f /dev/vgsb1/lvstva

Plus I believe a new map has to be made and then imported to the failover system after I make the change and take it out of the control script so it doesnt try to mount it at the next boot time.

Make sure that you unmounted corresponding mount point before you do lvremove.
Don't have to use -A option. Just use

lvremove /dev/vgsb1/lvstva and it will ask confirmation to remove.

You need to make fresh map file and export to other node.

No - you don't need -A - default is yes.

Yes - you will have to export the vg on the failover system and re-import from a new map file.

the -A option is automatic now, (it didnt used to be somewhere in the past)

No worries.
