Here are the steps: # lsvg rootvg VIOS # lspv hdisk0          none                                None           hdisk1          00f92e0cb02e0057                    VIOS            active hdisk2          00f92e0c5334bc72                    rootvg          active hdisk3          none                                None           hdisk4          none                                None           hdisk5          none                                None           # extendvg rootvg hdisk0 0516-1254 extendvg: Changing the PVID in the ODM. # extendvg VIOS hdisk3 0516-1254 extendvg: Changing the PVID in the ODM. # extendvg VIOS hdisk4 0516-1254 extendvg: Changing the PVID in the ODM. # extendvg VIOS hdisk5 0516-1254 extendvg: Changing the PVID in the ODM. # lspv hdisk0          00f92e0cb03016a3                    rootvg          active hdisk1          00f92e0cb02e0057
