To check and repair filesystem try fsck
To ckeck partitions table use fdisk

For LVM see http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html

You can run diagnostics on an AIX system by first, logging onto the system as root, and run the command "diag". This will get you to the diagnostics menu's. I usually go into problem determination, and do a quick diag on sysplanar. If it finds any errors, it will report it. Good luck.

I think what you have here is a bad SSA card. Really what your going to need to do at this point is call IBM hardware support (assuming your server is under warranty) and explain to them the problem. You will need to provide them with your machine type/model or serial number. To get machine serial number, you can type prtconf | pg and near the top of the output you'll find the system model, and serial number. Once they determine the hardware problem, they will dispatch a hardware tech out to replace your failing device.

good luck.
