removing a vxvm plex

[Henry Wong]

Does anyone know how to remove a vxvm plex from the command line? I have a disassociated volume plex I can't get rid of in the GUI.

Thanks

You can find the VxVM guide(s) here:

Hi (again) Henry:

Sorry, it the above reference, while valid, also points to the man pages. See version 1.5 of 11i for the 'vxplex' (1M) command, in this case:

James, thanks for looking into it. I have already checked into the man pages. There are so many combinations of arguments and there weren't a lot of examples. It also depends on the state of the plex the command to use is different. An HP engineer support engineer found this for me.

To remove a dissociated plex,
vxedit -r rm plex_name

If the plex is still associated to a volume,
vxplex -o rm dis plex_name
