varyonvg issue

Asked by ethanjohnsons in IBM AIX Unix

After 32 -> 64bit conversion on AIX 5.2.8,

backup2vg is a vg for 1 TB filesystem.
I was getting this:

# varyonvg backup2vg
PV Status:      hdisk180        0003404af2a015ba        PVNOTFND
                hdisk181        0003404af2a01697        PVNOTFND
                hdisk182        0003404af2a01776        PVNOTFND
                hdisk183        0003404af2a01842        PVNOTFND
                hdisk184        0003403a213df99e        PVNOTFND
                hdisk185        0003403a213dfb7c        PVNOTFND
                hdisk29 0003403a538662e8        PVINVG
                hdisk30 0003403a09654b27        PVINVG
0516-052 varyonvg: Volume group cannot be varied on without a quorum. More physical volumes in the group must be active.
Run diagnostics on inactive PVs.

But, now I am getting this, and can't do any troubleshooting.

# varyonvg backup2vg              
0516-008 varyonvg: LVM system call returned an unknown
        error code (3).
