You have to go into Diag and SSA Aids and tell AIX your removing the PV by 'setting the service mode'. You need to get that PV blinking, then yank it.
Cfgmgr after you delete the hdisk_name and physically put in the new PV.
I think you may have to 'syncvg -p new_pv_name' after you mirror it, it might be stale.

Subject: Replacing Failing SSA Disk
I am getting an SSA_DISK_ERR4 error on my J40 running
AIX 4.3.3. The disk is in a mirrored VG. I have
never replaced a disk on a running system before, so
I'd feel better if someone would look over the
procedure I'm planning to follow and let me know if I
am overlooking anything. Thanks very much.
unmirrorvg oravg hdisk17
reducevg oravg hdisk17
rmdev -l hdisk17 -d
[replace disk drive, let the drive be renamed hdisk17]
extendvg oravg hdisk17
mirrorvg oravg
