In Aix every physical hard drive is a PV i.e physical volume. I assume that you have attached the hard drive to the system run the cfgmgr command after that if you have the version 5.3 then you can run the smitty lvm , or just type lspv command that are you seeing any hdisk 0 .... etc etc ..... note that if that disk is available to the system or not then after either you can extend the existing LV (Logical Volume like data vg , rootvg ) by extendvg <vgname>
Hope it helps!!! I tried to explain you as much as I can imagine , you can ask again in details.
Cheers!!!
