I am following your 2nd suggestion as this machine is going to be out its door in about 2 months (its over 5+ years old) and is a DR/testing box so not a production machine, less critical. My goal now is to keep it going for the next 2 months.
My goal is to get /usr1 (vg_usr1) working, removing the failed disks and making sure it is mirrored.
Sorry, perhaps I should have stated this first though your notes I am going to use on the new system we are putting in place.
I changed the policy to minimum, and tried to run reorgvg...
Code:

Sounds like one of the pvs (hard drives) could be having an issue that is currently assigned to the vg?

This may sound like an absolute rookie question, and it is.
I have been working on Migrating our HP and Solaris servers to the new EMC SAN and know the routines backwards.
Now we've suddenly got a new IBM server and I don't even know how to check if it is connected to the switch.
Can someone... (1 Reply)
We run two p5 nodes running AIX 5L in a cluster mode (HACMP), both the nodes share external disk arrays. Only the primary node can access the shared disks at a given point of time.

vgscan
VGSCAN(8) System Manager's Manual VGSCAN(8)NAME
vgscan - scan all disks for volume groups and rebuild caches
SYNOPSIS
vgscan [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--mknodes] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch of other disk devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes and
volume groups. Define a filter in lvm.conf(5) to restrict the scan to avoid a CD ROM, for example.
In LVM2, vgscans take place automatically; but you might still need to run one explicitly after changing hardware.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
--mknodes
Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that are needed for active logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused
ones.
