Having problems with removing a volume group..
Dear all,
I would be very grateful if you could help me with removing the volume group.. The case is that, I was trying to create a volume group with 4 disk eligible, but the system has hang [RS/6000 with 4 processors and 8 Gb of memory
].. Maybe because the disks that I was trying to include into the new volume group were of too large size (22 disks, 72Gb each).. And now i have an inactive volume group.. And I cannot make it active.. I have trying everything, but i'm having errors whatever I do.. I thought I could just export it, but it's also not giving me to export the vg.. I wouldn't mind to have one inactive empty vg, but the problem is that the hdisk3(about 360Gb) is in that vg.. And I did not manage to extract the disk from the vg.. Maybe if I'll manage to extract the disk, i'll be able to remove the vg.. But I don't know how..
Please help!!
Thank you in advance...

Looking for help in understanding volume groups.
On the internal disks is it possible to have other volume groups other then root vg? If so would the other vg be captured in the mksysb?
Any documentation links that you can point me to on volume groups and such woudl be welcomed.

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

VGDISPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual VGDISPLAY(8) NAME
vgdisplay - display attributes of volume groups SYNOPSIS
vgdisplay [-A|--activevolumegroups] [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-D|--disk] [-h|--help] [-s|--short] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] [--ver- sion] [VolumeGroupName...] DESCRIPTION
vgdisplay allows you to see the attributes of VolumeGroupName (or all volume groups if none is given) with it's physical and logical vol- umes and their sizes etc. OPTIONS -A, --activevolumegroups Only select the active volume groups. -c, --colon Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs. The values are: 1 volume group name 2 volume group access 3 volume group status 4 internal volume group number 5 maximum number of logical volumes 6 current number of logical volumes 7 open count of all logical volumes in this volume group 8 maximum logical volume size 9 maximum number of physical volumes 10 current number of physical volumes 11 actual number of physical volumes 12 size of volume group in kilobytes 13 physical extent size 14 total number of physical extents for this volume group 15 allocated number of physical extents for this volume group 16 free number of physical extents for this volume group 17 uuid of volume group -d, --debug Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG). -D, --disk Show attributes from the volume group descriptor area on disk(s). Without this switch they are shown from the kernel. Useful if the volume group isn't activated. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -s, --short Give a short listing showing the existence of volume groups. -v, --verbose Display verbose information containing long listings of physical and logical volumes. If given twice, also display verbose runtime information of vgdisplay's activities. --version Display version and exit successfully. DIAGNOSTICS
vgdisplay returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error: 1 error reading VGDA 2 volume group doesn't exist 3 not all physical volumes of volume group online 4 volume group not found 5 no volume groups found at all 6 error reading VGDA 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 SEE ALSO
