volume group can not actived
=> vgdisplay vg01
vgdisplay: Volume group not activated.
vgdisplay: Cannot display volume group "vg01".
The /etc/lvmstat shows those disks assigned to vg01:
/dev/vg01
/dev/dsk/c4t0d0
/dev/dsk/c4t1d0
/dev/dsk/c4t3d0
/dev/dsk/c4t4d0
/dev/dsk/c4t5d0
However, the ioscan -fn
diskinfo: can't open /dev/dsk/c4t0d0: No such device or address
and same for other disks.
The pvdisplay shows:
=> pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c4t0d0
pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t0d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t1d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t3d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t4d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t5d0":
The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to
this volume group
pvdisplay: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.
pvdisplay: Couldn't retrieve the names of the physical volumes
belonging to volume group "/dev/vg01".
pvdisplay: Cannot display physical volume "/dev/dsk/c4t0d0".
That means I lost all the hdisks assigned for vg01? All 5 disks went bad?

Re: volume group can not actived
I doubt 5 disks went bad at the same time.
More likely the controller card or cable connecting those disks or other critical part has failed.
Shut down the server, open it up visually inspect and/or open a hardware call.
Probably your data is okay.

Re: volume group can not actived
I agree with Steven, please just to check run this commands:
ioscan -fnkC disk and see if you see your drives, if you do they are still defined in the kernel.
insf -e, this should reinstall all you special device files, run the ioscan again.
Also you might want to check for led's inside the server pointing at any errors.
You might want to reseat any parts related to the I/O system.
If you have a hardware testing tool I would check on the hardware too.
Regards,
Jaime.

Re: volume group can not actived
It looks like you have a problem with physical connection to the disks.
Check carefully whether the storage is connected to the power and all cable connections.
After that run
#>ioscan -fnCdisk
and answer with the command output.

Re: volume group can not actived
Got it be a hardware issue. If you are using external storage start checking your connections, reseat cables, etc.
If local storage, then shutdown your server and start reseating parts related to your I/O system.
If you feel more comfy, you can open a hardware call to hp so they help you resolve your issue.
Regards,
Jaime.

Re: volume group can not actived
ioscan -fnkC disk any NO_HW? or ERROR?
any errors in syslog?
external device, check the cables?
If its fiber look at the fiber do you see the light?
Those would be top priority on my list of things to check.
