    Hi,

    I had presented a disk from storage to my AIX 5.3 box and made a VG (anandvg)out of it. By mistake i deleted the presented disk. Now when i do lsvg it lists that particular VG. When i try to to remove it using reducevg it says provide the PVname which i dont have.

    I saw man pages of reducevg if you dont have the disk name you can use PVID of disk but i dont hav that as well

    What is the way out?

    Thanks

    remember that exportvg don't really delete the VG. So in the future, if you want to create another VG in the same disk, you must use the force option.
