Folks,

How do I remove volume group from ODM?

Previous sys admin remove a disk from the system with de-activating volume
gorup and removing it. It is still there in the ODM with no disk attached
to it.

When I use smitty to remove the volume group I get following error:


Remove a Volume Group

Type or select a value for the entry field.
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.

[Entry Fields]
* VOLUME GROUP name [vg02]



1800-111 A value must be specified in the
entry field for:
"VOLUME GROUP name".

Underneath this option runs getlvodm command as follows:

# getlvodm -v vg02
0006bf3f00004c0000000101c57f5fa7

[[root@lidp25]]/:
# getlvodm -w 0006bf3f00004c0000000101c57f5fa7 | cut -f2 -d' '


If I run same commands on rootvg, the second getlvodm gives me the disk
associated with rootvg:

# getlvodm -v rootvg
0006bf3f00004c00000000fc6fb9b445

# getlvodm -w 0006bf3f00004c00000000fc6fb9b445 | cut -f2 -d' '
hdisk0


If I try to run varyonvg command I get following error:

# varyonvg vg02
0516-008 varyonvg: LVM system call returned an unknown
error code (3).
