System Volume is missing

[alex1]

hi Todd Maxwell, please can you please specify in a little more detail the exact motions of doing this via the web interface?

From the GUI you can not remove Volume Groups (VG0x) only Logical Volumes and if the Logical Volumes have running task then you will have to remove them i.e. Snapshot is running or iSCSI Target is in use.

there are no tasks running, its a blank machine all i need to know is the exact method of removing the highest level of volumes settings ie factory reset, as this is going live tommorow.

my current error messege is "ERROR no system volume found! system can't work without system volume!

Dear Alex1,

You can remove LV from the GUI. If you go to Configuration->Volume Manager->[VG name] then click on the red "X" next to the volume. If this is inactive, you can delete the LV from system console "CTRL+ALT+X" "Delete LV". From the same menue, you can 'delete content of unit" which will delte the VG.

Then, from the system GUI do a rescan, and then you should see your Array "Unit".

Have you rebooted in 32bit mode after running in 64 bit mode?
