Removes copies from a logical volume.
rmlvcopy LogicalVolume Copies [ PhysicalVolume ... ]
The rmlvcopy command removes copies from each logical partition in the LogicalVolume. Copies are the physical partitions which, in addition to the original physical partition, make up a logical partition. You can have up to two copies in a logical volume. The Copies parameter determines the maximum number of physical partitions that remain. The LogicalVolume parameter can be a logical volume name or logical volume ID. The PhysicalVolume parameter can be the physical volume name or the physical volume ID. If the PhysicalVolume parameter is used, then only copies from that physical volume will be removed.
You can use the Volumes application in Web-based System Manager (wsm) to change volume characteristics.
