LVM Group Unable to be Removed?

[GregoInc]

Hello,

Have tried a number of approaches to removing an LVM disk I created, but seem to have got myself stuck. Here's what I've tried...

Here's what I see in the web interface



And here's what I tried to gain more info...

As you can see all of the above commands dont show anything.

Here's more detail...


Have tried rebooting, and no matter what options I try I cannot remove this group?

Appreciate any tips, or additional information I can provide.

Thanks, Mark

May have ended up solving myself... here's the steps I took.

sgdisk -N 1 /dev/sda
pvcreate --metadatasize 250k -y -ff /dev/sda1
vgcreate lvm1 /dev/sda1

Here's how it looks now...





So I think it's good, but not sure?

Hi,
well, you didn't remove the storage, but re-created it
In Proxmox VE, the admin is responsible for ensuring that the storage configuration matches the actually available storages. So in your case, the issue likely was that the storage was still configured in Proxmox VE's storage configuration (/etc/pve/storage.cfg or Datacenter > Storage in the UI), but not actually available on the node.

Now that you made the storage available, Proxmox VE is happy again. The other way would've been to remove the outdated configuration.

If you have multiple nodes and a storage is not available on all of them, you can restrict the storage via the nodes property, which can also be edited in the UI.
