I'm afraid there is no way to correct a corrupt VGBR with patches.
try to read out the volume groupe information with
lvlnboot -v
and write them back using lnlnboot -b, lvlnboot -s...
you better check the man page of lnlnboot befor you doing this

There was a bug in 10.10 when HP made LVM POSIX-complient. All to do with time-stamps... In certain cases with 10.20, this error still appears.

To fix it, install the latest LVM cumulative patch ; believe it's PHCO_18563.
