Our mirrored rootvg is located on hdisk0 + hdisk1, but when doing the
lspv command the output on hdisk1 is:

lspv hdisk1
0516-320 : Physical volume 0040b6ba6defe2970000000000000000 is not
assigned to
        a volume group.

Output from hdisk0 is OK and says it belongs to rootvg.

However, lsvg -p rootvg shows the truth, hdisk1 IS assigned to rootvg!
rootvg:
PV_NAME      PV STATE  TOTAL PPs  FREE PPs FREE DISTRIBUTION
hdisk1       active    542        288      97..03..00..79..109
hdisk0       active    542        268      77..03..00..79..109

.. and lslvg -l rootvg is as expected:
rootvg:
LV NAME             TYPE       LPs   PPs   PVs  LV STATE      MOUNT
POINT
hd6                 paging     67    134   2    open/syncd    N/A
hd5                 boot       1     2     2    closed/syncd  N/A
hd8                 jfslog     1     2     2    open/syncd    N/A
hd4                 jfs        8     16    2    open/syncd    /
hd2                 jfs        128   256   2    open/syncd    /usr
hd9var              jfs        11    22    2    open/syncd    /var
hd3                 jfs        10    20    2    open/syncd    /tmp
hd1                 jfs        1     2     2    open/syncd    /home

... and lsvg rootvg shows that there are 2 active PVs, no STALE PVs!
VOLUME GROUP:   rootvg                   VG IDENTIFIER:
0040b6ba140802b8
VG STATE:       active                   PP SIZE:        16
megabyte(s)
VG PERMISSION:  read/write               TOTAL PPs:      1084 (17344
megabytes)
MAX LVs:        256                      FREE PPs:       556 (8896
megabytes)
LVs:            12                       USED PPs:       528 (8448
megabytes)
OPEN LVs:       11                       QUORUM:         1
TOTAL PVs:      2                        VG DESCRIPTORS: 3
STALE PVs:      0                        STALE PPs:      0
ACTIVE PVs:     2                        AUTO ON:        yes
MAX PPs per PV: 1016                     MAX PVs:        32

So ....
How can i fix this miss-match, and get hdisk1 back to rootvg in lspv
output!?
Do I have to unmirror rootvg, remove hdisk1, then assign it again and
finallay mirror rootvg again ... hope not!?
I have rebooted but no diffrence.
Problem accured probably after moving hdisk1 to another SCSI ... not
really sure since we didnt discover it until resently!

Could be a corruption in the ODM. If you have your documentation on line, do a
docsearch and look for lqueryvg.  You should get 3 hits and one of them will be
for a shell script called "rvgrecover" (Root VG Recover).
Try it.

Thanx for all rply:s!
"synclvodm -v rootvg" did the job!
