Reducing Lvol on AIX5.3

Hi folks,

I known how to incrase and reduce File System size on AIX 5.3, but my issue is that I have a Logical Volume without any filesystem.
So, how to shrink just the logical volume ?

Thanks,

Livio.

The logical volume contains oracle database tables. The DBA already reduced tables.
