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?
