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.
