I can't seem to remove two physical volumes. I've removed the LVs on
them. I've deactivated the PVs. But I can not remove the PVs from the VG.
Here's an example of what I'm seeing:
[root@linux archive]# pvmove -v /dev/emcpowera
pvmove -- checking name of source physical volume "/dev/emcpowera"
pvmove -- locking logical volume manager
pvmove -- reading data of source physical volume from "/dev/emcpowera"
pvmove -- checking volume group existence
pvmove -- reading data of volume group "data" from lvmtab
pvmove -- checking volume group consistency of "data"
pvmove -- searching for source physical volume "/dev/emcpowera" in
volume group "data"
pvmove -- no logical volumes on empty source physical volume
"/dev/emcpowera"
[root@linux archive]# vgreduce data /dev/emcpowera
vgreduce -- ERROR: can't reduce volume group "data" by used physical
volume "/dev/emcpowera"
[root@linux archive]# pvdisplay /dev/emcpowera
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/emcpowera
VG Name data
PV Size 785.10 GB [1646481408 secs] / NOT usable 1 GB
[LVM: 127 KB]
PV# 1
PV Status available
Allocatable NO
Cur LV 4
PE Size (KByte) 1048576
Total PE 784
Free PE 784
Allocated PE 0
PV UUID JpYFFb-NUqC-trBf-oFm7-tbdF-65If-GZ56fw
Does anyone have any idea why I can't complete a reduce?
Thanks,
Peter
