Since the volume group has quorum on you will have to do a forced varyon to force the volume group online with out a quorum. Do a "varyonvg -f workvg" which will activate the volume group. And the chvg command has a syntax error in it - it should be "chvg -Qn workvg" - you missed out the "-" .

Hi,
More a Sun T5220 problem then a Solaris 10 problem, but perhaps someone had a similar issue.
For starters the output with 1 disk in slot 0 of the server.

vximportdg
vximportdg(1M) vximportdg(1M)
NAME
vximportdg - import a disk group into the Veritas Volume Manager configuration
SYNOPSIS
vximportdg daname new_dgname
DESCRIPTION
The vximportdg utility performs a temporary import of the disk group contained on the disk device specified by daname to the disk group
specified by new_dgname. As the persistent disk group information is not changed within the private partition of the affected disk, the
import is only valid for the duration of the bootload or until a vxdg deport is performed.
ARGUMENTS
daname Specifies the device name (disk access name) of one of the member disks of the disk group to be imported. The other members are
imported automatically.
new_dgname
Specifies the disk group to be imported.
USAGE
One reason to use the vximportdg utility is to import a second generation of the rootdg disk group so that its objects are available for
use while a system is running on a different rootdg. To prevent volumes on the second generation rootdg from having the same device minor
numbers as volumes (such as rootvol) on the active rootdg, the importation assigns temporary non-conflicting device minor numbers. If this
occurs, vximportdg outputs warning messages detailing the mapping of the minor numbers.
