I assume your odm is corrupt. Backup it and delete everything regarding
this vg:
PV=hdisk56
VG=datavgc3
cp /etc/objrepos/CuAt /etc/objrepos/CuAt.$$
cp /etc/objrepos/CuDep /etc/objrepos/CuDep.$$
cp /etc/objrepos/CuDv /etc/objrepos/CuDv.$$
cp /etc/objrepos/CuDvDr /etc/objrepos/CuDvDr.$$
lqueryvg -Lp $PV | awk '{print $2}' | while read LVname;
do
odmdelete -q "name=$LVname" -o CuAt
odmdelete -q "name=$LVname" -o CuDv
odmdelete -q "value3=$LVname" -o CuDvDr
done
odmdelete -q "name=$VG" -o CuAt
odmdelete -q "parent=$VG" -o CuDv
odmdelete -q "name=$VG" -o CuDv
odmdelete -q "name=$VG" -o CuDep
odmdelete -q "dependency=$VG" -o CuDep
odmdelete -q "value1=10" -o CuDvDr
odmdelete -q "value3=$VG" -o CuDvDr
importvg -y $VG $PV # ignore lvaryoffvg errors
varyonvg $VG

Subject: can't varyonvg
I know I made a mistake by varyoffvg, then creating a similar vg on a
second system with the same disks sharing the same ssa cabinet but now
how to I correct the problem?
I removed the vg from the second system successfully but I cannot remove
the vg on the first system without varying it on and I can't vary it on.
On the troubled system I have:
jack_as_root:># lspv hdisk56
0516-010 lspv: Volume group must be varied on; use varyonvg command.
PHYSICAL VOLUME: hdisk56 VOLUME GROUP:
datavgc3
PV IDENTIFIER: 000c948d922d2754 VG IDENTIFIER
000c948d922d3042
PV STATE: ???????
STALE PARTITIONS: ??????? ALLOCATABLE:
???????
PP SIZE: ??????? LOGICAL VOLUMES:
???????
TOTAL PPs: ??????? VG DESCRIPTORS:
???????
FREE PPs: ???????
USED PPs: ???????
FREE DISTRIBUTION: ???????
USED DISTRIBUTION: ???????
Also:
jack_as_root:># varyonvg datavgc3
PV Status: hdisk56 000c948d922d2754 PVNOTINVG
hdisk62 000c947dcdff623b PVNOTINVG
hdisk63 000c948d922e42ed PVNOTINVG
0516-013 varyonvg: The volume group cannot be varied on because
there are no good copies of the descriptor area.
I think I need to clear the descriptor area but how? A little help
would be appreciated.
What I initially wanted to do is move a vg from one system to another.
I think I need to export the vg after I varyoff. I will read up on what
I am trying to do but first I need to fix this.
