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
       Are you sure about destroying c3t0d0 (imported on VG /dev/vg02) ? YES

NAME

       vgrename - rename a volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vgrename  [-A|--autobackup{y|n}]  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]  [-v|--verbose] { OldVolumeGroupPath NewVolumeGroupPath | OldVolumeName NewVol-
       umeGroupName }

DESCRIPTION

       vgrename renames an existing (see vgcreate(8) ) volume group.

   OPTIONS
       -A, --autobackup y/n
	      Controls automatic backup of VG metadata after the change ( 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.

       -v, --verbose
	      Gives verbose information about vgrename's activities.

Examples
       "vgrename /dev/vg02 /dev/my_volume_group" renames existing volume group "vg02" to "my_volume_group".

       "vgrename vg02 my_volume_group" does the same.

DIAGNOSTICS

       vgrename returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error:

       1  new volume group directory for device special files already exists
       2  old volume group directory for device special files doesn't exist
       3  new volume group name is invalid
       4  old volume group name is invalid
       5  error checking existence of old volume group
       7  volume group names are identical
       8  new volume group already exists
       9  error reading VGDA
       10 error removing old VGDA from kernel
       11 error removing old VGDA from lvmtab
       12 error removing device special files for old volume group
       13 error creating device special files for new volume group
       14 error inserting new volume group name into lvmtab
       15 error backinp up VGDA
       16 error writing VGDA to lvmtab
       17 error renaming volume group in kernel

       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).
