Removing Physical Volumes from a Volume Group
To remove unused physical volumes from a volume group, use the vgreduce command. The vgreduce command shrinks a volume group’s capacity by removing one or more empty physical volumes. This frees those physical volumes to be used in different volume groups or to be removed from the system.
Before removing a physical volume from a volume group, you can make sure that the physical volume is not used by any logical volumes by using the pvdisplay command.
If the physical volume is still being used you will have to migrate the data to another physical volume using the pvmove command. Then use the vgreduce command to remove the physical volume:
The following command removes the physical volume /dev/hda1 from the volume group my_volume_group.
# vgreduce my_volume_group /dev/hda1
Resizing & Removing Physical Volumes
If you need to change the size of an underlying block device for any reason, use the pvresizecommand to update LVM with the new size. You can execute this command while LVM is using the physical volume.
If a device is no longer required for use by LVM, you can remove the LVM label with the pvremovecommand. Executing the pvremove command zeroes the LVM metadata on an empty physical volume. If the physical volume you want to remove is currently part of a volume group, you must remove it from the volume group with the vgreduce command.
Removing a default domain from one of your IP addresses in Plesk
Once you have set a domain to be the default domain for a specific IP address in Plesk, you will not be able to deselect that particular domain. At this point you only have the option of switching the IP address to another domain on your server.
If you would like to do this there is a solution using MySQL commands. You can manually set the default_domain_id to zero for a specific IP address directly in the Plesk database. Make sure to replace IPADDRESS with your address.
# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -Dpsa -e “UPDATE IP_Addresses SET default_domain_id = 0 WHERE ip_address = ‘IPADDRESS’;”
The following command will remove the default domain setting for all IP addresses:
# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -Dpsa -e “UPDATE IP_Addresses SET default_domain_id = 0;”
Then you need to use the command ‘websrvmng’ to apply changes:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v

Removing a mail server from the Spamhaus PBL
How to check if your IP is listed.
http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso
Spamhaus assists Internet service providers with preventing unsolicited email (spam) from passing through their mail servers. One of the tools Spamhaus employs is a “Policy Block List” (PBL) that lists addresses that get assigned to customers of dial-up, broadband, and hosting service providers. Those addresses are then blocked by default and have to be manually removed from the list when someone has a legitimate need to use one of those addresses to run a mail server (as many Slicehost customers do). It is therefore likely that a new slice, or one that hasn’t been used as a mail server before, will be on the Spamhaus PBL.
Being on the PBL doesn’t mean your address is blocked for spamming. The list is only there as a precaution against potential abuse. Spamhaus applies this policy to any IP addresses that could change hands from one customer to another. Their goal is to prevent computers that should not be sending email directly from being able to do so if they are compromised in some way.
