Well, I've gotta split, so....
if you do
lvdisplay -kv /dev/vg00/lvol1
for each lvol you want to remove (substitute your values, of course), you'll see something like
--- Distribution of logical volume ---
PV Name LE on PV PE on PV
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 25 25
/dev/dsk/c2t2d0 25 25
--- Logical extents ---
LE PV1 PE1 Status 1 PV2 PE2 Status 2
0000 0 0000 current 1 0000 current
0001 0 0001 current 1 0001 current
and so on. (This assumes mirroring - otherwise you should just have 1 PV)
Check the PV# -- NOT the PE#
Repeat the lvdisplay for all lvols in question, and be sure they're all on the same PV# (they should be).
This example is from a good box - you should see stale, or some other error.
If status is stale (or you're sure of the one to remove), you can
lvreduce -k PV# -m 0 /dev/vg##/lvol# for each lvol.
You may also need to
vgreduce -f /dev/vg## (if vgdisplay still "sees" the removed disk)
and if you swapped (not just removed a disk), you can
# mv /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.old
# vgscan -v ----- recreate lvmtab.
# vgchange -a y
# ll /etc/lvmtab ------ make sure the date is current.
