Full Discussion: Remove disks from VGs in LVM
Operating Systems Linux SuSE Remove disks from VGs in LVM Post 302301344 by mark54g on Thursday 26th of March 2009 03:21:01 PM

I would recommend that you add a drive sizable to contain the filesystems to your volume group, then pvmove to them, and then vgreduce the drives out of your VG and then power off, remove the disks and be done with it


If you don't want to remove them physically, and want to keep them for something else, you can fdisk them and use them for whatever.

run lsscsi to show the drives in a more readable way

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS

dev(7FS)							   File Systems 							  dev(7FS)

NAME

       dev - Device name file system

DESCRIPTION

       The  dev  filesystem  manages  the  name  spaces  of devices under the Solaris operating environment. The global zone's instance of the dev
       filesystem is mounted during boot on /dev.

       A subdirectory under /dev may have unique operational semantics. Most of the common device names under /dev are	created  automatically	by
       devfsadm(1M).   Others,	such  as  /dev/pts,  are dynamic and reflect the operational state of the system. You can manually generate device
       names for newly attached hardware by invoking devfsadm(1M) or implicitly, by indirectly causing	a  lookup  or  readdir	operation  in  the
       filesystem to occur.  For example, you can discover a disk that was attached when the system was powered down (and generate a name for that
       device) by invoking format(1M)).

FILES

       /dev    Mount point for the /dev filesystem in the global zone.

SEE ALSO

       devfsadm(1M), format(1M), devfs(7FS)

NOTES

       The global /dev instance cannot be unmounted.

SunOS 5.11							    9 June 2006 							  dev(7FS)
