Remove Volume Group after crash

[Angel_15]

Hello
I have Volume Group vg0 with start disks and I have two data disks in mirror for vg01.One data disk crash and I remove this disk of the system.I start my system but I only see vg0. The other data disk is unused. I try to remove (whit vgremove) vg01 but is not active.
How I can remove vg01 and assign the data disk to a new Volume Group vg02?
Thanks.

Hi,

# vgexport /dev/vg01

You can try vgexport. "vgexport /dev/vg01"

Hi,
use

vgexport vg01

pay attention, because this command works, regardless the content of the disks.


After that, you will have to issue a

pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

on each of the disks that were previously used, to initialize the LVM structure.
