[ also sent to comp.unix.aix, but the signal to noice ratio there is
terrible, and this list seems much better ]

My mirrored pagespace seems to be broken:

# lslv -m hd6 | egrep 'hdisk0.*hdisk0|hdisk1.*hdisk1'
0004 0113 hdisk1 0410 hdisk1
0116 0051 hdisk0 0055 hdisk0
0117 0052 hdisk0 0114 hdisk0
0122 0232 hdisk1 0227 hdisk1
0124 0234 hdisk1 0412 hdisk1
# lsps -a
Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 3520MB 50 yes yes lv
hd6 hdisk1 rootvg 7872MB 50 yes yes lv
# lslv hd6
LOGICAL VOLUME: hd6 VOLUME GROUP: rootvg
LV IDENTIFIER: 0010a1ba00004c00000000ec4d3eb088.2 PERMISSION: read/write
VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: opened/syncd
TYPE: paging WRITE VERIFY: off
MAX LPs: 512 PP SIZE: 64 megabyte(s)
COPIES: 2 SCHED POLICY: parallel
LPs: 178 PPs: 356
STALE PPs: 0 BB POLICY: non-relocatable
INTER-POLICY: minimum RELOCATABLE: yes
INTRA-POLICY: middle UPPER BOUND: 32
MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: None
MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: off
EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes

and I thought 'reorgvg' should fix this, but it complains about
'Illegal parameter or structure value':

tre# reorgvg rootvg hd6
0516-022 lmigratepp: Illegal parameter or structure value.
0516-964 reorgvg: Unable to migrate logical volume hd6.
0516-968 reorgvg: Unable to reorganize volume group.

Could somebody explain why some LPs copies are on the same PV as the
original, and why 'reorgvg' isn't able to fix this?
