The pre-existent lock was put there by something. Do you know what it was
?
Did you try 'synclvodm -v rootvg' ?

I thought that chfs failed "because" of the lock on rootvg (the lock was
pre-existent).
I tryed redefinevg (as suggested by Simon) but the result was:
# redefinevg -d hdisk0 rootvg
0516-574 redefinevg: Volume Group name rootvg is already used.
0516-621 redefinevg: The Device Configuration Database is inconsistent.
Execute exportvg rootvg followed by importvg to synchronize
the database.
# lsvg -o
vgfnclpatch
(... more vg's ...)
0516-304 : Unable to find device id 000f8baf3322d3af in the Device
Configuration Database.
vgid=000f8baf3322d3af
#
# redefinevg -i 000f8baf3322d3af rootvg
0516-574 redefinevg: Volume Group name rootvg is already used.
0516-621 redefinevg: The Device Configuration Database is inconsistent.
Execute exportvg rootvg followed by importvg to synchronize
the database.
#
The question, now, is: can I execute an exportvg/importvg without problems
for data (is it safe...)?
Thanks
Ignacio
