Fortunately I did not need to do a vgexport and re-import of the volume group. The system was showing extents in use (which were not in use and the system could not tell me where they were in use at). I first tried a 'vgchange -a n vgname' and then 'vgchange -a y vgname' to de-active and re-activate the volume group. This cleared the problem with the system thinking some extends from the AutoRaids were still in use. I was then able to vgreduce the disk/LUN out of the volume group.

There is a disk that is part of the one of my volume groups that can not be removed. It does not seem to have any logical extents in use by any LVs but still shows extents in use. I am thinking I will need to do a vgexport and re-import not including the disk. I just want to verify this is what I should do. I did some search on the HP ITRC site and it kind of sounds like this is what I have to do. Any one else have this problem and have to do the same thing? c1t3d0 is the disk I am going to vgreduce out.
