remove pv from vg without varyoff
hi,

I've a little problem...
I'm on aix 5.3TL9. I've a Vg with 5 pv, 90% of this vg was used by a FS, which has been removed.

Can i remove some PV from VG without umount other FS? How?

Thanks,

reducevg
If there aren't any PP in use on the drive then just do:
Code:
reducevg VGname hdisk##

Thanks for your answer, but it would be too much easy... Smilie
Code:
PV_NAME           PV STATE          TOTAL PPs   FREE PPs    FREE DISTRIBUTION
hdisk30           active            1399        1395        280..280..279..280..276
hdisk5            active            199         199         40..40..39..40..40
hdisk2            active            199         199         40..40..39..40..40
hdisk14           active            105         105         21..21..21..21..21
hdisk15           active            919         919         184..184..183..184..184
hdisk22           active            99          99          20..20..19..20..20
hdisk21           active            99          99          20..20..19..20..20
hdisk11           active            99          99          20..20..19..20..20

disk wanted to be remove is hdisk30...of course...
Is it possible to move data to hdisk 11,21 or 22?

try migratepv
If I'm reading your output correctly, you have 1399 PP's on hdisk30 and 1395 of them are free. If that's right then all you have to do is move the PPs over to any of the other disks in the VG that have enough free space on them.

Code:
# migratepv hdisk30 hdisk11
# reducevg VGname hdisk30

Well... finally it was easy...
I thought migratepv was for migrate pv between vg... i'ven't understood man ^^

Thx a lot Smilie
