First it is best to use the padmin commands for all VIO configuration. If in fact you are using the native padmin commands such as cfgdev etc but are showing the AIX equivalent for clarity then please excuse my comment.

Did you create the disks on the VIO using a new vhost or did you use an existing one but just added a new virtual disk?

Either way round if you run lsmap -all on the offending VIO do you see the disks in the listing?

A quick remedy I can think of is rmvdev the virtual disk and the physical disk then get the storage team to delete the LUN definition against the WWN of the FC adapter used on the VIO. Then ask the storage team to reallocate the same LUN to the FC adapter. Run cfgdev on the VIO which hopefully will not hang. Once cfgdev has finished run lspv -free to see if the disks are there.

I hope this helps.
