Sorry about that Simon, your AIX experience is very impressive.
When my IBM CE of 30 years came in and swapped out my SSA PV, he made sure we took it off line. He told me if you do not take that SSA port off line putting in the new PV hot might ruin the new PV. Why would they put that option in there if it were not to be used?

Nonsense! "set service mode" is just a convenience so that you can find the
particular disk when you have dozens or even hundreds of the things.
syncvg may be required, depending on how the task is done. Always a good
idea to do an lsvg afterwards, and an lsvg -p.
