AIX 0557 error The root file system does not mount

Hi,

on running system, a disk was added

hdiskx

then importvg -y oraclevg hdiskx

but hdiskx was actually a rootvg so since rootvg was already present in the existing system this happened

Code:

Imported hdisk2 which was rootvg as importvg -y oraclevg hdisk2 in server since rootvg already existed

# importvg -y oraclevg hdisk2
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd5 changed to bootlv00.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd6 changed to pagelv00.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd8 changed to loglv01.
0516-712 synclvodm: The chlv succeeded, however chfs must now be
        run on every filesystem which references the old log name hd8.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd4 changed to fslv01.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd2 changed to fslv02.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd9var changed to fslv03.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd3 changed to fslv04.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd1 changed to fslv05.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name hd10opt changed to fslv06.
0516-530 synclvodm: Logical volume name fwdump changed to fslv07.
imfs: Warning: mount point / already exists in /etc/filesystems.

oraclevg

1) will this effect the present machine, should I check something before rebooting the existing system

2) removed the hdisk2 by

Code:

# varyoffvg oraclevg
# exportvg oraclevg
# rmdev -dl hdisk2

then I created an LPAR and assigned this hdisk2 and tried to boot from it
I got the led 0557
0557

Explanation

The root file system does not mount.

lvscan

LVSCAN(8)                                                     System Manager's Manual                                                    LVSCAN(8)

NAME

       lvscan - scan (all disks) for Logical Volumes

SYNOPSIS

       lvscan [-a|--all] [-b|--blockdevice] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       lvscan  scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices in the system for defined Logical Volumes.  The output consists of
       one line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active, a snapshot or origin, the size of the device  and  its  allocation
       policy.  Use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain more-comprehensive information about the Logical Volumes.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       --all  Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as
              mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable).  For example, after creating a mirror using 'lvcreate  -m1
              --mirrorlog disk', this option will reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.

       -b, --blockdevice
              This option is now ignored.  Instead, use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain the device number.
