vxdestroy_lvmroot

NAME

vxdestroy_lvmroot - remove LVM root disk and associated LVM volume group

SYNOPSIS

vxdestroy_lvmroot [-v] [-b] lvm_root_disk

DESCRIPTION

The vxdestroy_lvmroot command tears down and removes the LVM volume group associated with the specified physical disk. This is done by removing the volumes in the volume group and then removing the volume group.

OPTIONS

-b

Invokes the setboot command to change the primary boot disk to the VxVM root disk from which the system was booted (if the primary boot disk is not already set to this disk). The alternate boot device remains unchanged. If the -v option is also specified, the settings of the primary and alternate boot devices are displayed.

-v

Outputs verbose messages including a timestamp that indicates major operations being performed.

ARGUMENTS

lvm_root_disk

Specifies the device name of the LVM root disk that is to be destroyed, along with its entire volume group.
