I'm trying to change volume group of a disk, I'm setting up a PowerHa cluster and need to create a volume group named caavg_private and assigne it to hdisk3.
what is the right methods (commands) of doing this?
---------- Post updated at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:52 AM ----------
When I'm trying to remove the disk from the volume in Smitty I get these errors.
Code:
0516-914 rmlv: Warning, all data belonging to logical volume
hd11admin on physical volume hdisk3 will be destroyed.
rmlv: Do you wish to continue? y(es) n(o)?
0516-1008 rmlv: Logical volume hd11admin must be closed. If the logical volume
contains a filesystem, the umount command will close the LV device.
0516-1734 rmlv: Warning, savebase failed. Please manually run 'savebase' before
rebooting.
0516-884 reducevg: Unable to remove physical volume hdisk3.
0516-1734 reducevg: Warning, savebase failed. Please manually run 'savebase' be
fore rebooting.

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information
