 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      vxdestroy_lvmroot - remove LVM root disk and associated LVM volume
      group

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      vxdestroy_lvmroot [-v] [-b] lvm_root_disk

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The vxdestroy_lvmroot command tears down and removes the LVM volume
      group associated with the specified physical disk. This is done by
      removing the volumes in the volume group and then removing the volume
      group.



 OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
      -b        Invokes the setboot command to change the primary boot disk
                to the VxVM root disk from which the system was booted (if
                the primary boot disk is not already set to this disk).  The
                alternate boot device remains unchanged.  If the -v option
                is also specified, the settings of the primary and alternate
                boot devices are displayed.

      -v        Outputs verbose messages including a timestamp that
                indicates major operations being performed.

 ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]
      lvm_root_disk
           Specifies the device name of the LVM root disk that is to be
           destroyed, along with its entire volume group.
