Your proposed method would work however it's recommended practice to have NIM as a standalone in your environment as a MASTER / CLIENT relationship.

You won't need a separate license for your server but ensure you have the DVD available so you can create your LPP sources etc. Also to turn your existing server into a "NIM" server you will need to install the 2 required bos.nim filesets as recommended by IBM.

Here is a link that may help you in setting up your NIM: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247296.html

Hope this helps! Let us know!

vgremove

VGREMOVE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       VGREMOVE(8)

NAME

       vgremove - remove a volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vgremove [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [--noudevsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION

       vgremove  allows  you to remove one or more volume groups.  If one or more physical volumes in the volume group are lost, consider vgreduce
       --removemissing to make the volume group metadata consistent again.

       If there are logical volumes that exist in the volume group, a prompt will be given to confirm removal.	You can override the  prompt  with
       -f.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       -f, --force
	      Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation.

       --noudevsync
	      Disable  udev  synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev.  It will continue irrespective of any possible
	      udev processing in the background.  You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices	LVM2  cre-
	      ates.
