AIX 4.33 volume group cannot be varied on

Yes! I have on SAN. You are in trouble, but what I do is I keep the maping file of the logical volumes, using
lsvg -m datavg > file directiong the output to file. If we cannot rebuild the descriptors, we will need to delete the volume group, and recreate the volume group, and using the map data, with the mklv recreating the descriptors to the volume group.
First though try to delete all the disk and datapaths and run cfgmgr.
After that importvg -y volumegrp
if it is a HA environment you will need to add -V major number
