Removal of a Physical Volume
- Removing a physical volume from a volume group:
- Ensure the physical volume is not being used:
- # pvdisplay /dev/XXX#
- If physical volume contains any logical volumes, you will need to migrate the data off of the physical volume:
- # pvmove /dev/XXX#
- If physical volume is empty remove it from the volume group:
- # vgreduce GGGG /dev/XXX#
- Remove the physical volume from LVM:
- # pvremove /dev/XXX#
- Ensure the physical volume is not being used:
