Re: the Vg cannot be activated
Seems like the system is unable to access the PV's mentioned. Are you able to see those PV's in your ioscan output "ioscan -fnC disk".
If the disks are mirrored you can try and activate the VG with the quorum turned off. This will probably activate the Vg but you may still be unable to access some of the disks / LV's
To activate the vg with the quorum off, use this
If the Vg is part of a cluster configuration
vgchange -a e -q n /dev/vg_name
If the Vg is not part of cluster configuration
vgchnage -a y -q n /dev/vg_name
Try this out.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

SolutionIt appears that you have a dead drive. If you lvols are mirrored, you could try vgchange -a y -q n to override quorum. If this is a mirrored configuration then this is not too bad but if not, get out your backups.

Re: the Vg cannot be activated
Further to my earlier post, if you are able to see the disks in ioscan, do a "diskinfo" on those disks to see whether you can read off the disks.
diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?
Thanks

Re: the Vg cannot be activated
If the diskinfo is returning the size of the disk as 0, it seems you have a faulty disk in your hands.
Replace the disk and see if the problem goes away.
hope this helps.
thanks

Re: the Vg cannot be activated
Sounds like you have lost disk in your array. Don't do anything in hurry. don't pull out any disk and put it back without you know that which one is dead. If you loose two disk you will loose all data.
Find out which kind of software you have on that system to see which disk is bed. for example we use simplicity.
Or attach the vt??? to disk's controller and rebuild the disk.
