Unable to add 300gb secondary disk to running 11.11 HPUX system

This has got to be the system from hell. Once again, on the RP4440 (after the supplier replaced the entire box due to the bad RTC battery), finally have it all reloaded with the packages the developers need. The last thing is to add the secondary disk to the OS.

BCH sees both OS and secondary disk, IOSCAN sees the disk, ioscan -funC, the disk shows up, diskinfo reads the disk ok, HOWEVER, when I do a vgcreate I get VGRA appears corrupted at the end of the create. pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0, works, vgcreate works and Vgdisplay actually shows the vg online and available and good, but the VGRA appears corrupted still occurs. lvmtab gets updated. vgcfgbackup vg01 fails, lvcreate WORKS, but mkfs fails.

If I vgchange -a n vg01, then vgchange -a y vg01 it cannot import the vg because it cannot associate the vg to a physical volume.

I have replaced the disk, Patched to Dec '09 release of OS patches from ITRC. Did searches for LVM, SCSI, DISK, SAM, VGRA and downloaded and installed the patches. Still fails. Any Ideas?

As of now, DD is able to write just fine to the disk (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c3t0d0 bs=1024k count=300000)

battery-stats

BATTERY-STATS(5)						File Formats Manual						  BATTERY-STATS(5)

NAME

       battery-stats - collected battery statistics

DESCRIPTION

       The battery-stats contains statistics about battery charge over time, as collected by the battery-stats-collector (8) daemon.

FORMAT

       Each line in the file represents one sample and is of the form:
						  <seconds> <charge%> <powermode> <UTC-date> <UTC-time>
       separated by spaces and terminated by a newline.

       Where:

       seconds
	      is the number of seconds since 1st Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC

       charge%
	      is the battery charge a number between 0 and 100

       powermode
	      indicates the power mode:
		       0 A/C off
		       1 On battery
		       2 On backup power

       UTC-date
	      a human-readable date in the format YYYY/MM/DD. Note that this is in UTC, not the local or system timezone.

       UTC-time
	      a human-readable time in the format HH:MM:SS (using a 24-hour clock). Note that this is in UTC, not the local or system timezone.

       minutes-left
	      is  the  BIOS estimate of how many minutes of running time the battery would provide.  This may be unreliable, depending on the BIOS
	      through which it was collected.

EXAMPLE

       A battery under charge might result in the following samples:
	      1032651245 27 1 2002/09/21 23:34:05 94
	      1032651275 28 1 2002/09/21 23:34:35 97
	      1032651305 29 1 2002/09/21 23:35:05 100
	      1032651335 30 1 2002/09/21 23:35:35 103
	      1032651365 30 1 2002/09/21 23:36:05 106

FILES

       The default set-up is to save battery statistics in /var/log and rotate the logs weekly, which results in this set of files:
       /var/log/battery-stats - current (most recent) statistics
       /var/log/battery-stats.[0-9]+ - less recent statistics
       /var/log/battery-stats.[0-9]+.gz - ancient statistics

       battery-graph(1), battery-stats-collector(8).
