It says that  Logical volume centos_hyv2/swap in use. Maybe centos_hyv2/swap is
mounted. So I think you should umount or
swapoff centos_hyv2/swap first, make sure it is not used by other process. Then
try pool-destroy.

Subject: [libvirt-users] How to fix an incorrect storage pool?

I've created my storage pool incorrectly. I'm using LVM and I have a
volume group called vms-lvm.
When I look at it in virt-manager I see that the volumes it contains are home,
root and swap, so when I created the storage group in virt-manager I must have
specified something incorrectly.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to correct this. If I try to destroy (stop)
the storage group I get an error:

# virsh pool-destroy vms-lvm
error: Failed to destroy pool vms-lvm
error: internal error: Child process (/usr/sbin/vgchange -aln centos_hyv2)
unexpected exit status 5: Logical volume centos_hyv2/swap in use.
Can't deactivate volume group "centos_hyv2" with 3 open logical
volume(s)

Same if I try to undefine it:
# virsh pool-undefine vms-lvm
error: Failed to undefine pool vms-lvm
error: Requested operation is not valid: storage pool 'vms-lvm' is still
active


Can anyone please advise how I get out of this mess? There must surely be a way
of undefining this?
