from mkvg man page:

Code:
-y VolumeGroup Specifies the volume group name rather than having the name
generated automatically. Volume group names must be unique system wide and can
range from 1 to 15 characters. The name cannot begin with a prefix already
defined in the PdDv class in the Device Configuration database for other
devices. The volume group name created is sent to standard output.

Try this:

Code:
mkvg -y newvg hdisk2
