    After an extended system downtime, one of my disks appears to be corrupted upon system restart . It belonged to a volume group (vg02) which was comprised of 8 physical volumes. When I run sam and look at all the disks, the offending disk is shown with 0 Mb instead of 9 Mb.
    A 'vgdisplay -v vg02" fails with errors such as :
     
    vgdisplay: Warning: couldn;t query physical volume "/dev/dsk/c1t15d0":
    The specified path does not correspond to physical volume attached to this volume group.
    vgdisplay: Warning: couldn't query all of the physical volumes.
     
     
    I have a spare disk I could use to replace the faulty disk, but am unsure how I can successfully delete and recreate the volume group and its logical volumes. All attempts I have made fail when trying to address the dodgy disk.
     
    Any suggestions?
     
    Many thanks
