There is a little-known tool called readvgda which does what its name suggests - read the VGDA and print its content out to screen. I use it regularly when working on (to me) unknown systems when i need to find out about the VG type (classic, big or scalable) because otherwise there is no direct way to get that information elsewhere. You can use it for any other purposes too, though. The format is:
where hdiskN is any hdisk device in the VG. Here is a longer article about it but knowing what to search for you find many others too.
The VGDA is stored in (at least) two different locations of the disk and if one is broken you may still read the other one and use that. You can easily do that with dd so you won't need IBM to do that for you. Of course this is a potentially risky operation so my suggestion is to test it first on a throwaway system/disk to get acquainted.

uri::url
URI::URL(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation URI::URL(3)NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators
SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base);
$u2 = $u1->abs;
DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to
be distributed with the libwww-perl library.
The following differences exist compared to the "URI" class interface:
o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface.
o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclass of "URI::WithBase".
o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs.
o URI::URL::strict(1)
o $url->print_on method
o $url->crack method
o $url->full_path: same as ($uri->abs_path || "/")
o $url->netloc: same as $uri->authority
o $url->epath, $url->equery: same as $uri->path, $uri->query
o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings.
o $url->path_components: same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters)
o $url->params and $url->eparams methods
o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->frag: same as $uri->fragment
o $url->keywords: same as $uri->query_keywords
o $url->localpath and friends map to $uri->file.
o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr: same as $uri->to for mailto URI
o $url->groupart method for news URI
o $url->article: same as $uri->message
