Is this because the volumes are varied on my other server? Should they be varied off before this command?
You have to configure the VG for "concurrent access" before it can be accessed from more than one system simultaneously. Its the "-C" flag to "chvg", but if you are unsure about how to do that use "smitty chvg" and follow the panels there - its pretty self-explanatory.

You will have to break the vg-lock afterwards using "chvg -u" to access the VG from another system.

I hope this helps.
