bdf
pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c2t1d0
I believe that disk is already mounted as whole disk.

Re: Unable to extend VG to idle disk
Thanks!
I was too quick to start this thread before even checking out whether the disk was 'pvcreated' or not. Now things are happening after
1. pvcreate -B -f /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 ...
The LVs are just getting extended now.
Thanks again.

Re: Unable to extend VG to idle disk
# pvdisplay -v /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
This will determine whether the following will be required or not:-
# pvcreate -B -f /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
