Before you really scratch the VG you might first find out what happened to hdisk6. Run "errpt" again with the "-a" switch to see the details and analyse what stands there. Eventually you could post it here and have others input about what it means.
You can still scratch the VG then, but: there is some reason why you encountered I/O errors. Disk broken, SAN damaged - i do not know what it is. But i do know (from long and often tragic experience) that a problem without a symptom is still a problem and it tends to creep up and haunt you exactly the moment you have the least need for that. So solve your problem with your disk first before you do anything with it, including (but not limited to) recreating the VG.

exportvg should not be changing the VGDA in anyway, in fact it can be done with the disks of the volume group inactive.
I think something had happened to your LVCB before hand.
Consider the following command sequence. This disk is active, but the commands should give (nearly) the same output (there may be in the VGDA whether the VGDA is active or not).
The tail command is to show that the -dt options shows how all PP are mapped.
p.s. My prompt is not #, but I have performed an su to root so my euid is 0
Question: do you get the same issue when you su to root (is there perhaps an authority not passing when using sudo?)

Is there a way to find the volume group name after assigning hdisk to the machine for importing it ?
importvg -y <find_the_name_from_the_unknown_disk_> hdiskX
Code tags and no hijacking. You should be aware of that ;) (3 Replies)
I don't know if I am asking this correctly, but I have a hard drive with some bad sectors and it appears that some of the data is corrupt. I am having allot of trouble copying the data to a new drive. The issue is not in copying files, but that the new drive to which files are copied is not acting... (17 Replies)

Hmm, how to ask this without sounding too malicious...
How might one go about causing a disk corruption in OS X specifically or via the command line in UNIX in general?
Doesnt matter the severity of the problem, I just want to scare the person a little, then fix the problem for them.
Any... (1 Reply)
