At least it sounds like that. Did you delete the old VG prior to creating it anew? Try the following: "varyoffvg" the VG in question, then "exportvg" it to completely get it out of the system. Delete the respective hdisk devices. Edit /etc/filesystems to get rid of the old filesystem entries.

(Ah, before i forget: before you do any of this make sure you have a working backup - this is all *very* destructive and *very* finally so.)

Then create the SAN shares anew, run "cfgmgr" and only then create a new VG and the filesystems.

I hope this helps.
