Thanks Patrick, I came in this morning only to find my two fc paths dead.
Even after stopping/starting the agent, powermt config, and rebooting, they
only come back alive for about 10 minutes, then they go dead?

I would do a;
chdev -l hdiskpower0 -a pv=clear,
chdev -l hdiskpower0 -a pv=yes, to reinit your pvid, then
recreatevg -y vg_name hdiskpowername.
I just had to do this, this morning. This command will do importvg and a
varyonvg too.

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.

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:
