When I do a vgdisplay on one of the VGs, I am getting the below error -
vgdisplay -v /dev/vg_db01

There are 16 alternate links & I need to add all of them into the VG, so that the above error doesnt show up. I recreated the lvmtab file after moving the /etc/lvmtab file & then did a vgscan & activated the VGs. Again I am getting the same error in vgdisplay.
In vgchange, also I am getting the below error.
# vgchange -a y /dev/adop_db01
vgchange: Warning: Couldn't attach to the volume group physical volume "/dev/dsk/c68t2d4":

Re: vgchange: Too many links
You can specify physical volume links pv-links for a physical volume providing different paths that reference the same physical volume in the pv_path list. The order in which the paths are listed is important. The first path becomes the primary link to the physical volume, and the second becomes an alternate link to the physical volume. The primary link is the default path used to access the physical volume. (see WARNINGS section). If the primary link becomes unavailable, LVM automatically switches to the alternate link to access the physical volume. Currently, LVM supports a maximum of 8 paths to a physical volume (7 alternate and one primary).
