I need some help, it is slightly urgent so any help is appreciated.
We were doing a data migration, during a migratepv command, our SAN ran out of quota space and locked all of the filesystems, now I'm left with a few errors and am not able to do migratepv again.
So we tried rmlvcopy (A suggestion from the internet)
Any help to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.
Having first encountered LVM in HP-UX and now experimenting with it in Redhat and Gentoo, I am wondering, when is it actually good practice to use LVM? Obviously LVM doesn't work for boot partitions, so that question is a pretty easy answer: Not for /boot in Linux.

Sorry for the noob question; my experience is with Solaris.
Am I reading this right? Are these disks completely unused? Not possibly raw disks for informix or something?

vgmerge
VGMERGE(8) System Manager's Manual VGMERGE(8)NAME
vgmerge - merge two volume groups
SYNOPSIS
vgmerge [-A|--autobackup{y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--list] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] DestinationVolumeGroupName SourceVol-
umeGroupName
DESCRIPTION
vgmerge merges two existing volume groups. The inactive SourceVolumeGroupName will be merged into the DestinationVolumeGroupName if physi-
cal extent sizes are equal and physical and logical volume summaries of both volume groups fit into DestinationVolumeGroupName's limits.
OPTIONS
-A, --autobackup y/n
Controls automatic backup of VG metadata after the merge ( see vgcfgbackup(8) ). Default is yes.
-d, --debug
Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).
-h, --help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
-l, --list
Display merged DestinationVolumeGroupName like "vgdisplay -v".
-t, --test
Do a test run WITHOUT making any real changes.
-v, --verbose
Display verbose runtime information about vgmerge's activities.
Examples
"vgmerge -v databases my_vg" merges the inactive volume group named "my_vg" into the active or inactive volume group named "databases" giv-
ing verbose runtime information.
DIAGNOSTICS
vgmerge returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error:
1 2 volume group names must be entered on command line
2 volume group to merge from must be inactive
3 error reading VGDA of volume group to merge into
4 error reading VGDA of volume group to merge from
5 error setting up VGDA for merge
6 error extending VGDA by physical volume in kernel
7 error writing VGDA to physical volume(s)
8 error creating volume group special files
9 error removing volume group from lvmtab
95 driver/module not in kernel
96 invalid I/O protocol version
97 error locking logical volume manager
98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
99 invalid command line
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LVM_AUTOBACKUP
If this variable is set to "no" then the automatic backup of VG metadata is turned off.
LVM_VG_MAX_BACKUPS
This variable determines the backup history depth of kept VGDA copy files in /etc/lvmconf. It can be set to a positive number
between 0 and 999. The higher this number is, the more changes you can restore using vgcfgrestore(8).
