Ah, sure, you are right.
iostat -a tells me hdisk3 is on fcs0, and hdisk2 is on fsc1.

I see from iostat, that only hdisk2 on fcs1 gets all the data. Somehow
strange again, when the vg claims to consist of hdisk3.

I won't. I won't even touch that for a while at all. There is too much
other stuff going on other machines, that I need to take care of,
involving VIO Servers that I don't know anything about.

Well, thanks for your hints.
