So what does lsvg rootvg, lsps -a, and lslv hd6 on this box look like for a root
user?
Also check /dev/rhd6 of course.

OK - me and my other admin are banging our heads against a wall on this
one...

For a non-root user on system A:

$ lsps -a

        cause is the special file for the VG is missing. Execute
        varyoffvg followed by varyonvg to build correct environment.

$ lslv -l hd6

For the same non-root user on 11 other servers:

$ lslv hd6

hdisk1 080:000:000 100% 000:080:000:000:000

Things we've checked:

      Owner/Group/Permissions on /dev, /dev/hd6, /, /dev/rootvg
      lsps -s works
      lslv hd6 works, but returns "???" is some fields
      Checked for ACL's
      odmget works
      getlvodm works for some aspects
      Ran synclvodm (didn't think it would do anything, but thought I'd try
it anyway)
      User ID/group membership the same

Help!
