Hi

Use SAM or lvremove

#lvremove -f /dev/vgname/lvname

Hi

Also use SAM to remove it and then /usr/sam/bin/samlog_viewer to view the structure of the command.

Hi:

To delete a logical volume use 'lvremove'. 'lvreduce' is used to change a logical volume's size or number of mirror copies.

# lvremove /dev/vg01/lvol1

...would destroy the logical volume 'lvol1' in the volume group 'vg01'. You will be prompted for confirmation if a filesystem resides in the logical volume. It's data will be destroyed. You will need to unmount the filesystem on the logical volume before you 'lvremove' it if you have mounted one to it. Be sure to edit '/etc/fstab' accordingly.

Regards!

If you just created it and did not put anything on it, just

lvremove /dev/vg_name/your_lv
