I did not know about this option! Kevin pointed out the -S option of pvchange to me.
>From the man page for pvchange (-S option):
-S autoswitch Set the autoswitch operation for the physical
volume pv_path. autoswitch can have one of
the following values:
y Automatically switch back to the
original primary path after a
recovery from a failure. This is
the default.
n Do not switch back. Stay on the
current controller.
This looks like what I need! The man page does not say thing about autopath so I am guessing it is not required for this to work!

Justin,
man pvchange (review the -s and -S options and see that is what you are looking to do)

As I thought, I would need to force the other link to be used once it is restored/working again. This could be done with a vgreduce on the disk device so it would use the other one.
The other option as mentioned by Rita is to purchase an HP software product by the name of autopath.
Thanks for all who replied!

I have a related question about pvlinks.
We have two fibre cards, I am planing to use every other disk from one fibre card and the primary and the other as an alternate link. Basically to some-what load balance the traffic between the two cards. In the event that one of the cards or fibre lines fail all disk access will be via one of the two fibre cards/fibre.
My question is, once the down card/fibre is restored will the system go back to the way it was before where half of the traffic is using one card and the other half using the other card?
Thanks!

We installed two fibre channel cards in our K570. We want to connect it to our fibre switch. Is there any reason this cannot be done while the system is up in running or should we bring the system down to do this?
Thanks,
