Details
Logical Volume Management allows for removing unused physical volumes (PVs) and for the moving of an entire volume group (VGs). The removal of a PV shrinks the overall size of the VG.
This tutorial will work with the Oracle Linux Volume Manager utilities to shrink a volume group by removing a physical volume and then transferring the volume group to another system.
Objectives

- Move a logical volume
- Shrink a volume group
- Transfer a volume group to another system
Prerequisites
The tutorial uses the following system:
- Two Oracle Linux 8 systems with the following configurations:
