Did you try this command:
recreatevg -y vgname hdiskxxx hdiskxxx hdiskxxx
as suggested by John? The importvg will not work if the disks are missing the VG descriptor area info.

Subject: 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.
Bengt
