Need to re-initialize LSM

I am trying to clean up an old install/enable of LSM on digital UNIX 4.0
(464). According to the man page for volsetup, I can type volsetup -o
force. Here's what I get:

# volsetup -o force

LSM: Creating Logical Storage Manager device special files.
lsm:voliod: cannot open /dev/voliod: No such device or address

Approximate maximum number of physical disks that will be managed by LSM
? [10]

Enter the disk(s) to add into the rootdg disk group.
NOTE: Enter a blank line to end the list of disks.
? rz10
? rz3
?

Initialize vold and the root disk group:

lsm:vold: Error: cannot open /dev/volconfig: No such device or address

Fatal errors prevent /usr/sbin/volsetup from continuing.
Stop.


The HTML documentation that came with my alphastation has no help except
to refer me to the LSM guide. I can't find this guide. I am wondering if
there are certain files that I can simply remove to make Digital UNIX
forget that LSM was ever enabled. It also happens that /dev/volconfig
exists among other files in /dev ---

crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 0 Nov 15 20:56 volconfig
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 1 Nov 15 20:56 volevent
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 3 Nov 15 20:56 volinfo
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 41, 2 Nov 15 20:54 voliod

Even if I delete these files and allow lsm to recreate these files, no
luck. Any ideas?
