Hi ,

The solution that worked out in this case , provided by cc :

1.take backup of lvmtab

2.Vgreduce -l vg06 /dev/dsk/c39t0d7 (option "l" worked , previously we were doing simply vgreduce , this need to be done of all the device file that were showing in the error )

3.Vgextend /dev/vg06  /dev/dsk/c39t0d7  ( on all the link shown in error)

4.followed by a vgscan to recreate the lvmtab .

Thanks ,Trosten for all the help.

Regards,
