I don't see /dev/cciss/c1d0p0 in the pvscan output.  It does show 
that /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 is unused.  Also /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 is much larger than 
c1d0p1.

Is this what you mean?  pvmove will remove all extents used on the specified 
PV off of it.

I'm unclear about what device you are trying to reduce.......  A little more 
clarity please.
