Re: File system creation
We need a bit more info.
What HPUX version are you running?
What is the current status?
Is the filesystem stll active?
Did you already replace the disk?
Could you post the output of
# vgdisplay -v /dev/vgxx
Regards,
Robert-Jan

Re: File system creation
Scenario : you have a disk that is dead and still in the system.
since disk is not available file systems is also unavailable. and. you want to replace a disk and restore the data from backup onto that Lv/filesystem right.
You need to :
Remove the failed disk from existing Vg using Pv key (since Pv is not accessible)
Since, You are not Having LVM OLR, you need to identify the correct disk and take it out.( if it is already dead. and disk is type of hot plugable)then insert a hot plugable disk in that slot, Do ioscan then insf. Record the device file name for that new disk.
Do pvcreate on that disk.
Do vgcfgrestore on that disk.
Activate Vg if required using -q n option
Create Lv and then file system
Mount it on original mount point and then restore backup
