VG and LV problem

Hi all,

I have a client who has an RX4640 using 11iV2, he said the server has problems.

I checked and I couldn't activate the VGs.

I am somehow new to HP-UX and I don't want to do something that would mess everything up. I am not sure if that is what is really happening, but from what I understood from the outputs below, the physical volumes are not associated to the VGs (excuse my HP-UX newbie grammar).

Below you may find the output of some of the commands.
Any help would be appreciated in order to identify and solve the problem.
Have a good day everyone!
