vgremove(8)
NAME
  vgremove - Removes the definition of one or more volume groups from the
  system

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/vgremove VolumeGroupName ...

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 vgremove command removes from the system the last physical volume of
  the volume group and the definition of the volume group(s) specified with
  the VolumeGroupName parameter. Since all system knowledge of the volume
  group and its contents are removed, you can no longer access that volume
  group.

  All logical volumes residing on the last physical volume must be removed by
  executing the lvremove command before executing the vgremove command.

  The vgremove command is the (effective) inverse of the vgcreate command
  called with one physical volume.

  Before removing a volume group, you must do two things:

    ·  Remove all of the logical volumes belonging to the group with the
       lvremove command.

    ·  Remove all but one of the physical volumes belonging to the volume
       group with the vgreduce command.

EXAMPLES
  To remove volume group vg02 from the system, enter:

       vgremove /dev/vg02

  The definition of vg02 is removed from the system and the volume group
  cannot be accessed.
