We should simply take an example: a VG vg00 resides on 10 PVs (sda...sdj) and has 4 LVs in it: lvol1...lvol4. Only lvol4 resides on sdaj and sdi, and they become unavailable. For the other LVs in the vg00 are all PVs still OK, so I should be able to use them, such as HP-UX or Veritas Volume Manages do. Indeed I have now a situation, that the entire vg00 ist not available!
