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...

The next idea is checking the VGDA, it might just be corrupted.

If this is the case, you might have to repair the VGDA data, which is not an easy task (and without danger neither).

There is an...

You wont be able to do this on your 51A, but it can be done provided you don't need to use VIOS.

If your system has the ability to attach more than one disk controller, then you can run as many...

yeah, you need the PowerVM / VIOS Virtualization feature code on the machine, otherwise it will not work. The FC is encoded in the Serial Number of the machine.
There is no way around.

I have to agree to XrAy on this: even though there are ingeníous ways to "massage" the system to do whatever, like the one rbatte1 has provided, it is generally better to use the provided utilities....

Assuming that you are licenced and can get the VIO install media, this may also be a lot of work, i.e. a server re-build. The way I have it is that the VIO software runs natively on the server. ...

For using PowerVM, ie. create LPARs and setup VIO server, you need the PowerVM license. You can check your activated licenses in the ASMI. There is no way around.

If you get stuck, let us know. You need to have the correct cable to connect a terminal or laptop to the serial port. It has to be wired correctly, not just "it fits the hole" so if you are stuck,...

You could refer this straight to IBM and get specialist advice, but if you are not contracted another option would be to download the microcode.

What do you mean by the NVRAM? That's more of a Sparc/Solaris term to me.

There are several things that you could be asking here, so could you clarify? Are you looking to:-
