pvlink & secure path for XP 12000 at the same time

I have one problem. My customer is using secure path(policy is Round Robin) for XP 12000. so I created vg01 with primary path below(c3tXdX :primary path, c5tXdX:secondary path)

--lvmtab---
/dev/vg01
/dev/dsk/c3t1d0
/dev/dsk/c3t1d1

When I rebooted the system, c3tXdX path fail.
So, vg01 was not activated.

After fixing c3tXdX path, I did vgextend list below.
--lvmtab--
/dev/vg01
/dev/dsk/c3t1d0
/dev/dsk/c3t1d1
/dev/dsk/c5t1d0
/dev/dsk/c5t1d1

My question is that
1. When c3tXdX path fail, will pvlink work or secure path work?
2. Can Secure path initiate before vgactivation, so that one of paths fail but system can activate vg and mount?

Can anyone help me?
