can't vary on vg - no good copies of the descriptor area
Hi everyone,
I just restored an AIX 6.1 LPAR from one JS12 blade to another. I've done this several times before without issues. But this time, the restore completed successfully, all file systems are mounted, I can even start WebSphere and all the apps. However, when I try to do lsvg <volumegroup> it says:
"Volume group must be varied on; use varyonvg command."
Then I try varyonvg <volumegroup> and it says:
0516-013 varyonvg: The volume group cannot be varied on because
there are no good copies of the descriptor area.
So apparently the descriptor area is missing. I don't know what this means. When I did the restore, the only thing different was the size of the LUNs in the SAN. So, there is more disk on the partition I restored to. Other than that, everything's the same.
Does anyone have any ideas??

vgrestore
vgrestore(1M) vgrestore(1M) NAME
vgrestore - restore a VxVM disk group back to an LVM volume group SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vgrestore vg_name DESCRIPTION
The vgrestore command restores a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group that was previously converted to a VxVM disk group by the vxvm- convert utility. ARGUMENTS
vg_name Specifies the name of a volume group that was converted to a VxVM disk group by the vxvmconvert utility. EXIT CODES
vgrestore exits with one of the following values: 0 Successful completion. >0 Failure; an error occurred. WARNINGS
vgrestore functions only on VxVM disk groups that were converted from LVM volume groups by the vxvmconvert command. It is a good idea to back up user data before running vgrestore, and restore it after the vgrestore completes, as vgrestore can only restore a logical volume back to the state it was in before conversion to VxVM. If data changed on the volume while it was a VxVM volume, the changes won't be reflected on the volume after being restored to LVM. As part of the original conversion process, applications that once referenced the now-converted LVM volume's path names may have changed to reference VxVM volume special device file names. Alternatively, special device file path names originally representing the now-converted LVM volumes may have changed to symbolic links pointing to the VxVM volume path names. Be sure to undo these actions when restoring back to LVM. Do not use vgrestore unless you are certain that you want to restore LVM volume groups. After vgrestore this is run, the VxVM disks will no longer exist. EXAMPLES
To restore the LVM volume group vg03 that was converted by vxvmconvert to the VxVM disk group dg03, enter: vgcfgrestore vg03 SEE ALSO
