    Greetings,

    I was trying to remove a logical volume from a hpux 11.00 server. The
    file systems are JFS3.3, layout version 4. For some reason when I try
    and remove this one after unexporting it and unmounting it tells me I
    have to do the lvlnboot -r command. This is a non-root disk on an EMC
    array. I guess I could probably vgexport then pvcreate -f the disks,
    but want to make sure lvm and lvln is happy. Below is what I think is
    any needed data if you have any ideas? I'm trying to remove the only
    logical volume in vg06. The system is a rp5450.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    You must lvrmboot -r before removing a root device.
