hello

I have an RS6000 F50 AIX 433 and I need to add some disk space

I tried to add several kind of disks (hp, ibm ...) using an external
cabinet connected to the standard external scsi connector (30-58)

I can add the disks which become available but I can't use them, for
example when I try to make a new vg on it (smit system memory/logical
volumes/volume groups/add) I get the following errors :
0516-024 mkvg : unable to open the physical volume
0516-862 mkvg : unable to create a volume group
...
0514-047 : unable to access a device (/etc/methods/chgdisk)

what am i missing ?

TIA
