Deleting segments, volume groups, and physical volumes
When deleting segments, volume groups, or physical volumes, you should be aware of the following:
•
A segment cannot be deleted until the file system to which it belongs is deleted.
•
A volume group cannot be deleted until all segments that were created on it are deleted.
•
A physical volume cannot be deleted until all volume groups created on it are deleted.
If you delete physical volumes but do not remove the physical storage from the network, the volumes
might be rediscovered when you next perform a discovery scan on the cluster.
To delete segments:
For example, to delete segments ilv1 and ilv2:
To delete volume groups:
For example, to delete volume groups ivg1 and ivg2:
To delete physical volumes:
