Awk-sed help : to remove first and last line with pattern match:
awk , sed Experts,

I want to remove first and last line after pattern match "vg" :
I am trying : # sed '1d;$d' works fine , but where the last line is not having vg entry it is deleting one line of data.
- So it should check for the pattern vg if present , then it should delete the line , else do nothing.

file1 :
Code:
/dev/vgP2XT
/dev/disk/disk4415
/dev/disk/disk4335
/dev/disk/disk4214
/dev/disk/disk4413
/dev/disk/disk4423
/dev/disk/disk41313
/dev/disk/disk21063
/dev/disk/disk20702
/dev/disk/disk21423
/dev/disk/disk21122
/dev/vgQ4XT



I have tried: the above sed on the file2 , but cutting one data line, that I don't want in the output :

file2 :
Code:
/dev/vgP2XT
/dev/disk/disk4415
/dev/disk/disk4335
/dev/disk/disk4214
/dev/disk/disk4413
/dev/disk/disk4423
/dev/disk/disk41313
/dev/disk/disk21063
/dev/disk/disk20702
/dev/disk/disk21423
/dev/disk/disk21122


Tried:
sed '1d;$d' , but it is deleting last line "disk21122"
How to tell sed to check for the pattern, and then delete, if possible.




So I want the output should be:

Code:
/dev/disk/disk4415
/dev/disk/disk4335
/dev/disk/disk4214
/dev/disk/disk4413
/dev/disk/disk4423
/dev/disk/disk41313
/dev/disk/disk21063
/dev/disk/disk20702
/dev/disk/disk21423
/dev/disk/disk21122


Thanks,

vxdestroy_lvmroot

vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)													     vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)

NAME

       vxdestroy_lvmroot - remove LVM root disk and associated LVM volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vxdestroy_lvmroot [-v] [-b] lvm_root_disk

DESCRIPTION

       The  vxdestroy_lvmroot  command	tears  down  and removes the LVM volume group associated with the specified physical disk. This is done by
       removing the volumes in the volume group and then removing the volume group.

OPTIONS

       -b	 Invokes the setboot command to change the primary boot disk to the VxVM root disk from which the system was booted (if  the  pri-
		 mary  boot  disk is not already set to this disk).  The alternate boot device remains unchanged.  If the -v option is also speci-
		 fied, the settings of the primary and alternate boot devices are displayed.

       -v	 Outputs verbose messages including a timestamp that indicates major operations being performed.

ARGUMENTS

       lvm_root_disk
	    Specifies the device name of the LVM root disk that is to be destroyed, along with its entire volume group.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows the vxdestroy_lvmroot command invoked in its simpliest form:

       /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot c5t1d0

       # /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot -v -b c3t0d0
