    Subject: Volume group must be varied on: Strange never seen this before

    Hi All,

    I have a LPAR on a P650 that is up and running. It's been up for 22 days.
    SAP and Oracle are running on this lpar. There was a problem with paging
    space last week, and I was going to add more paging space when I noticed
    the following:

    On all three of my volume groups, I tried to do "lsvg" What I get back is
    "Volume group must be varied on; use varyonvg command."
    Isvg returns fine, until I specify the volume group.

    If I do a "lspv" on all the disks I get: the same command, and the stats of
    the disks are all ????????????????????????....

    Yet sap and oracle are very happy. The thing I can't do right now is add
    more paging space because of this.

    Have you seen this? And, can I run the varyonvg command while the system
    is running?

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance
    John
