    I appreciate Bob, John, and Bills' suggestions. However, I am still stuck

    I managed to remove the volume group information on these three physical
    drives by running this script from smit:

       xlist () { VGID=`getlvodm -v $1`; if test $? -ne 0
       then
         exit 1
       fi
       Q1=`getlvodm -w $VGID | cut -f2 -d' '`; echo $Q1; }; xlist ''

    I can then not import volume groups from:

    hdisk0 Available 04-B0-00-0,0 Other SCSI Disk Drive
    hdisk1 Available 04-B0-00-1,0 Other SCSI Disk Drive
    hdisk2 Available 04-B0-00-2,0 Other SCSI Disk Drive

    For each one I get:

    0516-066 lqueryvg: Physical volume is not a volume group member.
            Check the physical volume name specified.
    0516-066 lqueryvg: Physical volume is not a volume group member.
            Check the physical volume name specified.
    0516-562 redefinevg: Unable to access physical volume hdisk0

    I am looking for these logical volumes:

    /dev/lv01 -- /opt jfs --
    rw yes no
    /dev/lv02 -- /home/dns jfs --
    rw yes no

    Since I have been having trouble with my backups, I am tempted to try a
    data recovery company. However, if anybody has a way of undoing the
    damage, or suggestion as to where to turn, it would be great.

    Bengt
