Operating Systems HP-UX Bypass stale PE ?

So, I decided to unmirror everything and reorganize the logical volumes since some of them were spread over disks on the same controller or mirrored onto the same physical volume.

I got it to where I had all logical volumes on disks on one controller ie. each individual volume was completely on one disk on the 1/10/0 controller. I even put lvol5 (that had the stale PE) on it's own disk (c9t3d0) with nothing else on it. Everything was fine, all PE's were current. I then mirrored each LV to it's partner disk on the 0/10/0 controller ie. everything on c9t5d0 mirrored to c5t5d0 with no issue (lvol1 - lvol4, lvol6 - lvol8) but when I tried to mirror lvol5 from c9t3d0 to c5t3d0 I ran into the stale partition again, with the same PE's, and it's different disks this time:
Code:
# lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol5 /dev/dsk/c5t3d0
The newly allocated mirrors are now being synchronized. This operation will
take some time. Please wait ....

lvextend: Couldn't re-synchronize stale partitions of the logical volume:
I/O error
lvextend: Couldn't resynchronize logical volume "/dev/vg00/lvol5".
# lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol5 | grep stale
LV Status                   available/stale
   00652 /dev/dsk/c9t3d0    00069 current  /dev/dsk/c5t3d0    00652 stale

I obviously do not understand how a stale PE on one disk can be the same stale PE on another.

Could it be as simple as a bad data in lvol5 where I need to fsck that file system before trying to mirror?

So it must be something wrong with /dev/dsk/c9t3d0 a corrupt block that it cannot detect and shows up only the other side when trying to sync?

In an amazing display of Murphy's Law, this is no longer an issue as the site took a power hit last night and the server is fried. And no, I was nowhere near it.
