    If the import doesn't work, try importing the volume group with a
    different name using the: "-y" option of the importvg command.
    You could also, do a: "lquerypv -Atp hdiskx" name, to make sure the vgda
    isn't corrupted on the disk. Then you could probably
    do a: "recreatevg" on the disks.
    Thanks.

    If it was exported, can it be imported ?

    I have a disk that had one jfs filesystem on it, but
    somehow the vg/lv metadata seems to have been
    corrupted. The disk appears to be physically ok
    however. The vg was already dropped with exportvg,
    and I was hoping that it would be possible to recreate
    the definitions using mkvg, mklv with a map file,
    etc., using the original disk and recover the data on
    the disk, assuming I know or can guess the attributes
    of the original setup. Can this be done, or am I out
    of luck?

    I made the attempt and am getting the message: Cannot
    mount X on Y: A system call received a parameter that
    is not valid.
