PV-Uncreate?

[ConnieK]

I did a pvcreate on a wrongly provisioned disk. No data on the disk at this time. How do I pv-uncreate or do I even need to? Nothing else has been done.

Hi

You can do a

pvremove /dev/dsk/c#t#d#

You just got the disk ready to be added to a volume group. Nothing more needs to be done with it based on what you've stated.

Unless you intend to use this disk as a raw logical volume in the future, you don't even need to. Probably the safest bet - to avoid confusion in the future - is to run pvremove now, though.

the pvremove command will take care of iit. Be sure to run it against the rdsk i.e.

pvremove /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

just substitute you disk in place of c0t0d0
