I also tried rmsf and insf on the hardware path for the disks it's having problem with, but no success. What's going on?

Re: vgchange error
Did you try "ioscan -fn", then "insf -e",
and then try the vgchange?
Any previous messages in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log?

Re: vgchange error
Try doing diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c9t0d0 and see whether you can see the disktype/info.
As suggested try ioscan and insf -e.
Some SAN disks need to stop and start the agent before doing the ioscan and insf. Try that. or If you can't see any of this does its trick then sometimes a reboot mightbe required.

Re: vgchange error
Please check ioscan -fnC disk
Is the disk /dev/dsk/c9t0d7 reported and showed CLAIMED ?
What does diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c9t0d7 show
If disk exists, what does pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c9t0d7 show ?
Are there any messages in /var/adm/messages or /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log or OLDsyslog.log on disk failures ?
In your 2 posts there are 2 different disks mentioned - c9t0d0 and c9t0d7 - is the problem reported for all disks in vgdev VG ? Then is the path corresponding to controller c9 fine ?
Please check and revert the status.
Regards,
Ninad
Enrico - the disk is in /dev/vgdev VG and not vg00.

Re: vgchange error
1) Reboot
2) ioscan -the disk is claimed
3) disk info - nothing abnormal
4) rmsf and insf -e
5) syslog.log - nothing abnormal
6) dmesg - nothing abnormal
7) Nothing abnormal in pvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvdisplay, and so on.

Re: vgchange error
What is the output of "strings /etc/lvmtab"?
Can you just do a vgexport of vgdev and than do a vgscan again.
