pvcreate not working
I have few new EMC disks assigned from Stroage. I can pvcreate small disks (8.7GB), but bigger disks (71GB) are giving problem. -f also doesn't help.
PHP Code:
root@tlcqr201:/> pvcreate /dev/emcpowerge
/dev/emcpowerge: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/emcpowerge: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 74907582464: Input/output error
/dev/emcpowerge: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 4096: Input/output error
/dev/emcpowerge: write failed after 0 of 4096 at 4096: Input/output error
Failed to wipe new metadata area
/dev/emcpowerge: Format-specific setup of physical volume failed.
Failed to setup physical volume "/dev/emcpowerge"
What can be the solution ?
May it be a bad SAN disk ?

vgextend
VGEXTEND(8) System Manager's Manual VGEXTEND(8)
NAME
vgextend - add physical volumes to a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgextend [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--restoremissing] [-f|--force] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [ PHYSICAL DEVICE
OPTIONS ] VolumeGroupName PhysicalDevicePath [PhysicalDevicePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see pvcreate(8) ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size.
Moreover, it allows you to re-add a physical volume that has gone missing previously, due to a transient device failure, without re-ini-
tialising it. Use vgextend --restoremissing to that effect.
If PhysicalDevicePath was not previously configured for LVM with pvcreate (8), the device will be initialized with the same default values
used with pvcreate. If non-default pvcreate values are are desired, they may be given on the commandline with the same options as pvcre-
ate. See PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS for available options. Note that the restore-related options such as --restorefile, --uuid, and --physi-
calvolumesize are not available. If a restore operation is needed, use pvcreate (8) and vgcfgrestore (8).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available for initializing physical devices in the volume group. These options are further described in the
pvcreate man page.
-f, --force
-y, --yes
-Z, --zero y|n
--labelsector sector
--metadatasize size
[--metadataignorey|n]
--pvmetadatacopies copies
--dataalignment alignment
--dataalignmentoffset alignment_offset
Examples
"vgextend vg00 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdn1" tries to extend the existing volume group "vg00" by the new physical volumes (see pvcreate(8) )
"/dev/sdn1" and /dev/sda4".
