I tried this with no change in the result.

[root at vhost01 ~]# kpartx -d /dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_base
[root at vhost01 ~]# kpartx -d
/dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_basep1
[root at vhost01 ~]# kpartx -d
/dev/mapper/vg_vhost01-lv_vm_basep2
[root at vhost01 ~]# /sbin/lvremove -f
/dev/vg_vhost01/lv_vm_base
  Can't remove open logical volume "lv_vm_base"
