removing disk from volume group

Is there any way to remove a disk from a volume group without destroying the
volume group? My predecessor added a second disk to vg00. None of the root
file system was put on the new disk, and I'd like to get the vg00 back to only
having the root file system in it. Obviously, I don't want to have to
reinstall the operating system. If I move the other file systems on the second
vg00 disk to different disk, is there any way to pull that one out of the vg00
volume group?

Hi,

To remove a disk you type vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

I would type pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/cxtxdx and ensure that all Physical extents
are unused before removing the disk.
