VXVM : How to Remove Disk?

Hi,

I don't need the data and the disks anymore on my Solaris10 Server. I am not able to remove disk through vxdiskadm. Please give me the exact method.

When I try to remove the disk, It gives below message:

# vxdiskadm

Select an operation to perform: 3

Remove a disk
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/RemoveDisk
Use this operation to remove a disk from a disk group. This
operation takes, as input, a disk name. This is the same name
that you gave to the disk when you added the disk to the disk
group.
Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] disk01
The following volumes currently use part of disk disk01:
datavol01 vol_p106 vol_p107
Volumes must be moved from disk01 before it can be removed.
Move volumes to other disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)


I don't want to move the volume to any other disk as I don't need it.

Thanks,
Kamal
