Reduce VG

We can remove the VG using reducevg command, if we want remove testvg and testvg has one pv hdisk9

#lsvg –p testvg
Hdisk9
#

Now we will remove the pv from testvg

#reducevg –f testvg hdisk9

f- option is used to force reduce, you have data in pv hdisk9, that time I will not any questions, directly it will remove the pv from testvg. Suppose 2 PV’s available in testvg then one by one we can reduce the PV’s
