NAME

  lvremove - Removes one or more logical volumes from a volume group


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/sbin/lvremove [-f] LogicalVolumePath ...


DESCRIPTION

				     Note

       This command is no longer supported on Digital UNIX systems.
       Features formerly provided by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
       are now provided by the Logical Storage Manager (LSM).  Existing
       LVM volumes must be migrated to LSM, using an encapsulation
       process. For information about moving LVM volumes to LSM, see the
       vollvmencap(8) reference page and the manual Logical Storage
       Manager.


  The lvremove command removes the logical volume(s) specified by the
  LogicalVolumePath parameter. You must close the logical volume(s) before
  removing them.  For example, if the logical volume contains a file system,
  you must unmount the file system.


FLAGS

  -f	    Specifies that no user confirmation is required


EXAMPLES

  To remove logical volume lv05 without requiring user confirmation, enter:

       lvremove -f /dev/vg01/lv05

  The program removes the logical volume from the volume group.


CAUTIONS

  This command destroys all data in the logical volume(s).


FILES

  /usr/sbin/lvremove
