SolutionStrings /etc/lvmtab
check if the disk is mentioned.
#mount
check if the disk is mounted as whole disk
# vxdisk list
check if /dev/dsk/c6t0d0 is a vxvm disk
#swapinfo -tam
check if this disk used as swpap
If all tests are fine , do
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0
check if any error message
pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0
then do vgcreate.
If still you have read error, try to use #dd command adn do testing
Regards,
Sooraj
