Puppet users - Aug 2013 - Can't remove a physical_volume from a volume_group

Hello,

I have this bit of code that tries to remove a physical volume from the VG 
(which consists of /dev/sda5 amd /dev/sdb1):

                volume_group {
                        "system":
                        ensure => absent,
                        physical_volumes => "/dev/sdb1",
                }

But I get this error:

Error: Execution of ''/sbin/vgremove system'' returned 5: Do you
really want
to remove volume group "system" containing 2 logical volumes? [y/n]:
Volume group "system" not removed
Error: /Stage[main]/Node_emake/Volume_group[system]/ensure: change from 
present to absent failed: Execution of ''/sbin/vgremove system''
returned 5:
Do you really want to remove volume group "system" containing 2
logical
volumes? [y/n]:   Volume group "system" not removed

Is there a way to force it or a work around?

Thank you in advance.

	Your define statement is wrong. volume_group { ''system'':
ensure =>
absent } will attempt to remove the volume group regardless of the other 
parameters. You want simply

volume_group { ''system'':
   ensure           => present,
   physical_volumes => ''/dev/sda5'', # or whatever pv you
want to keep
}

Assuming you''re using the puppetlabs-lvm module it''ll handle
comparing
the physical volume membership of the volume group and call vgreduce or 
vgextend as needed.
