You should also be able to use chvg -u VGname.

it's not possible.
the drive is locked by the FastT900. i can't get the PVID of the hdisk and can't do an importvg.

I think that a command should be found to be sent to controlling of FastT to release the logical drive

I assumed your other server already had the volume group information. Without it I agree that you are probably stuck :-(

OK,
the second server know the VG.
but when we did not manage to make a varyonvg, we have to try to destroy the VG and to remake a importvg.
Hot-line says that it is necessary to place from the special orders not documented to resolve the accesses. this command is not standard AIX5L, but it is possible since HACMP
