They may be defined see that se are available.
Do lsdev cmd on each disk.
Don't do anything till then.
U can export all of vg and import vg. I did this several times for such
issues.Remember to give atleast one disk while importing vg.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: HELP! My lost TSM DB
Look at "errpt" and see if any indication of problem. Also look at
/var/adm/ras/bootlog, it may give indication of why disks dropped.
I would try to get disks back before I did a restore etc.
Looks like you are just using RAW LV's and not filesystems, so that
rules out "fsck" to solve problem.
I have little experience with AIX 5.1, may be a few more tricks with it.
I would call AIX support and they can probably help if nothing
obvious.

Hi folks,
TSM server 5.1 on AIX 5.1
(This may a little more of an AIX question, but I've lost my TSM
database...)
I rebooted my Unix server today and four disks that belong to a volume for
my TSM database, were not in the volume group any more! I know that I can't
add them back in to the VG because the disks will be wiped. Ex:
The last four disks used to be in the volume group:
hdisk8 000d9f7fdabbdc5c TSMdbvg1024
hdisk9 000d9f7fdabbe670 TSMdbvg1024
hdisk10 000d9f7fdabbe852 TSMdbvg1024
hdisk11 000d9f7fdabbee59 TSMdbvg1024
hdisk13 000d9f7fe2b49302 None
hdisk14 000d9f7fe2b50726 None
hdisk15 000d9f7fe2c74aee None
hdisk16 000d9f7fe2c76f92 None
I'm hoping to get the disks back into the VG by hacking the ODM. Unless
someone knows another way?
My plan B is just to restore the database. Does this plan make sense:
Delete the LVs first?
rmlv TSMdbB
rmlv TSMdbC
rmlv TSMlogB
rmlv TSMlogC
Delete the VG?
exportvg TSMdbvg1024
Add the VG and add the disks to the VG:
Use smit.
Create the LVs:
/usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMdbB' TSMdbvg1024 8 hdisk8 hdisk9
/usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMdbC' TSMdbvg1024 8 hdisk8 hdisk9
/usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMlogB' TSMdbvg1024 2 hdisk10 hdisk11
/usr/sbin/mklv *S 4k -y 'TSMlogC' TSMdbvg1024 2 hdisk10 hdisk11
Format LVs for TSM:
dsmserv format 2 /dev/TSMlogB /dev/TSMlogC 2 /dev/TSMdbB /dev/TSMdbC
dsmserv restore db
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanx Miles
