pvremove

pvremove(1M)															      pvremove(1M)

NAME

       pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  clears  the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume.	The device may then be used by the
       file system or by other volume managers.

       The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group.  The command only clears the LVM data structure on a  disk  if  the  disk
       does not belong to a volume group.  This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group.  If the physical volume
       to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume.

   Arguments
       recognizes the following arguments:

	      pv_path	The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
