sam & vgreduce

[mobile_1]

How can I do vgreduce in SAM?

I can not find the function of vgreduce in Sam, here I want to delete some diskes from a vg, and due to too much disks, it is tired to execute vgreduce command.

how can I do?

hi,

go to disks, select the (empty!) disk, Action & Remove.

Thierry.

Hi:

The commandline syntax is quite simple, too:

# vgreduce /dev/vgXX /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ

...where cXtYdz represents the physical volume you want to remove from vgXX.

Regards!

Hi,

If you have a filesystem on this volume, you can remove the volume and create a new. You cannot reduce the volume, without to damage the filesystem. Don't forget the backup.
