AIX varyonvg PVMISSING
Hi all.

I'm new to AIX, so... We are running a BCV process between two AIX 5 machines attached to EMC Clariion SAN. During the varyonvg portion of the BCV process, we experienced a failure due to the physical volume is marked missing (PVMISSING). What diagnostics can I run to see the missing PV and how might I be able to fix this so the varyonvg command will run successfully?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Code:
PV Status:  hdiskpower45    00cb1c7c3aa3990f        PVACTIVE
            hdiskpower16    00cb1c7c3a9c029f        PVACTIVE
            hdiskpower15    00cb1c7c3aa41ecd        PVMISSING
            hdiskpower14    00cb1c7c3a9cedd5        PVACTIVE
0516-056 varyonvg: The volume group is not varied on because a
        physical volume is marked missing. Run diagnostics.

Turns out I had some dead paths to the SAN. Did an rmdev -dl diskname and ran cfgmgr and all is good now.

Thanx!
