Re: Accidentially Removed a Volume Group

I appreciate Bob, John, and Bills' suggestions. However, I am still stuck

I managed to remove the volume group information on these three physical
drives by running this script from smit:

   xlist () { VGID=`getlvodm -v $1`; if test $? -ne 0
   then
     exit 1
   fi
   Q1=`getlvodm -w $VGID | cut -f2 -d' '`; echo $Q1; }; xlist ''

I can then not import volume groups from:

hdisk0 Available 04-B0-00-0,0 Other SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 04-B0-00-1,0 Other SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk2 Available 04-B0-00-2,0 Other SCSI Disk Drive

For each one I get:

0516-066 lqueryvg: Physical volume is not a volume group member.
        Check the physical volume name specified.
0516-066 lqueryvg: Physical volume is not a volume group member.
        Check the physical volume name specified.
0516-562 redefinevg: Unable to access physical volume hdisk0

I am looking for these logical volumes:

/dev/lv01 -- /opt jfs --
rw yes no
/dev/lv02 -- /home/dns jfs --
rw yes no

Since I have been having trouble with my backups, I am tempted to try a
data recovery company. However, if anybody has a way of undoing the
damage, or suggestion as to where to turn, it would be great.
