Anybody seen anything similiar to this or have any insight? Help much
appreciated on this!

After a 5.1->5.2 upgrade, I found that I cannot import the volume group
which resides on a CX600 LUN. I have flashed the fcX adapters with the
latest microcode, andh here are the EMC software versions:
PowerPath 3.0.4.0
NaviAgent 6.2.0.6
CLArray 5.2.0.7

This is the error I'm getting:
[root@nad0019aixd05/home/root]# importvg -y oraclevg hdiskpower0
0516-024 lqueryvg: Unable to open physical volume.
        Either PV was not configured or could not be opened. Run
        diagnostics.
0516-024 lqueryvg: Unable to open physical volume.
        Either PV was not configured or could not be opened. Run
        diagnostics.
0516-1140 importvg: Unable to read the volume group descriptor area
        on specified physical volume.

powermt display dev=all shows this:

I also noticed something peculiar, I have the LUNZ devices showing up now:
