Remove faulty disk from VG

[Alexandrino]

Hi,

I had a VG with two disks and one of them stopped working and I had to remove it. This PV appears as unknown device and I can not remove this PV from VG, I already tried vgreduce --removemissing --force but it did not work. Also it did not work to delete the VMs that were in that VG.

Please, can anyone help me ?
