vgremove(1M) vgremove(1M)
NAME [Toc] [Back]
vgremove - remove LVM volume group definition from the system
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
/usr/sbin/vgremove vg_name ...
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The vgremove command removes from the system the last physical volume
of the volume group and the definition of the volume group or groups
specified by vg_name .... Since all system knowledge of the volume
group and its contents are removed, the volume group can no longer be
accessed.
To move a volume group from one system to another, use the vgexport
command instead (see vgexport(1M)).
Before executing vgremove, remove all logical volumes residing on the
last physical volume by executing lvremove (see lvremove(1M)).
vgremove is equivalent to the inverse of executing vgcreate for one
physical volume (see vgcreate(1M)).
Before removing a volume group, two steps are necessary:
1. Remove all the logical volumes belonging to the group by
using the lvremove command (see lvremove(1M)).
2. Remove all but one physical volume belonging to the volume
group by using the vgreduce command (see vgreduce(1M)).
If there is any physical volume group created under vg_name ..., the
physical volume group information is also removed from file
/etc/lvmpvg.
Arguments [Toc] [Back]
vgremove recognizes the following argument:
vg_name The path name of a volume group.
