Hi all,
I'm getting some errors on AIX regarding Flashcopy and volume group hard disks.
The script that activates flashcopy showed this errors:
Recreating Flashcopy for lun01_A1
Performing syntax check...
Syntax check complete.
Executing script...
Script execution complete.
SMcli completed successfully.
Recreating Flashcopy for lun02_B1
Prforming syntax check...
Syntax check complete.
Executing script...
Error occurred while attempting to recreate flashcopy logical diskDrive lun02_B1 at line 1.
Error 1011 - A management connection to the controller in slot B must be defined to complete this operation.
If you are managing this controller directly through the Ethernet (out-of-band), you must define its management connection (IP address or
DNS/Network name) using the Add Storage Subsystem option.
If you are managing this controller through a host agent (in-band), verify that all physical paths to the controller are connected and op
erational. Then run the hot_add utility on the affected host, and then Refresh or Rescan the Host.
The command at line 1 that caused the error is:
recreate FlashCopy logicalDrive ["lun02_B1"];
Script execution halted due to error.
SMcli failed.

Removing old definitions for flashcopyvg"
From the Storage Manager Client the Flashcopy was active but was not shown/mounted its filesystems on AIX.
And then after cfgmgr showed this output:
>cfgmgr
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgefscsi -l fscsi2 ):
0514-061 Cannot find a child device.
Method error (/etc/methods/cfgfcparray -l hdisk11 ):
0514-051 Device to be configured does not match the physical
device at the specified connection location.
lspv showed this output (no hdisk10 part of flashcopyvg)
........
hdisk11 none None
hdisk19 000c92f2cc0c9e6c datavg concurrent

Flashcopyvg had originally hdisk10 and hdisk11 assigned.

Why is there hdisk10 disappeared and replaced by another non-existent before hdisk19 which itself is shown identical with hdisk8 (same PVID) ?? 
Thanks
