Removal of PVID's

Admins,

I have some new Oracle ASM (10g) instances running on a new system
(P595). The disk was SVC allocated brand new so the ASM allocated hdisks
had a 'None' PVID assigned to them. This all works fine. It seems,
according to Oracle, that if ASM tries to acquire a disk with a previous
PVID it will corrupt the database instance. I personally find this odd
because obviously you need to extend your databases from time to time
and not many people have brand new disk just hanging around waiting to
be used for ASM. I guess my question is, how do I clear the PVID off of
the used PV's before I give them to Oracle and ASM?

Thanks in advance,
Darryl
