I've had a VXFS filesystem get corrupted and now it won't mount.
Bummer - I hate when that happens.

Can I run a fsck -y on the raw disk device
It matters what you mean by 'raw disk device' - If this was a vertias filesystem that was mounted as a partition, fsck won't be a problem. If this was a veritas filesystem raw Sybase disk then fsck I believe would fail (since it's not a real filesystem but just a Sybase raw partition controlled by Veritas).

or should something be done within veritas? Veritas does not see the disk at the moment.
Hopefully you had saved in the past the information needed (I don't recall all of it off the top of my head) -
Code:
vxprint -th 
vxdisk list
If the drive failed, then there is a procedure to follow within vxdiskadm of removing and installing - but you should have the old info to know exactly which device you are dealing with.
