Re: physical volume --PV status -unavailable
I'd say you have a problem with the path to the alternate link.
ioscan -fnC disk
Make sure the WWN assignment on the LUN is matches the output from the fcmsutil utility.

Re: physical volume --PV status -unavailable
Your post of the 'ioscan' output doesn't provide anything useful. Post the all of it, so we can see the SW state information. For example:
disk 0 10/0.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST34371W
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0
Also: Can you read the disk, thusly:
# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c26t4d2 of=/dev/null bs=64k count=100
Regards!

Re: physical volume --PV status -unavailable
What happens if you do:
# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c26t4d1
# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c29t4d1
If those are successful and show the correct size of the disk then you might try a pvchange on them.
# pvchange -s /dev/dsk/c26t4d1
# pvchange -s /dev/dsk/c29t4d1
Then do your vgdisplay again and see what the status is.

Re: physical volume --PV status -unavailable
I think the alternate path might was not working for some time. But in your ioscan o/p all paths and disks are seems to be fine.
Can you do a #vgchange -a y /dev/vg73
and psot the result.
Regards,
Sunil

Re: physical volume --PV status -unavailable
u can get more information of the disks through the diskinfo command,
#diskinfo /dev/dsk/c26t4d1
#diskinfo /dev/dsk/c29t4d1
and also u can try the vgchange -ay command.
