Unstartable LSM plex

Hi. I have researched a problem to this point, but am now needing help to
continue.

Problem started with difficulty logging into a server. I found the problem
to be because of an Advfs issue. We run Advfs on LSM volumes in this case.

According to /var/adm/syslog.dated/kernel.log:
ul 3 14:32:52 asx090 vmunix: AdvFS I/O error:
Jul 3 14:32:52 asx090 vmunix: Domain#Fileset: bcpfas_dom#d1

on v
olume mvdgvol1, plex mvdgvol1p1, block 43001888

This problem keeps reoccuring.

To get over the problem, I initially rebooted since the system was too slow
to be able to do any work. System is now performing okay, but I am no
longer able to mount the LSM volume.

mount says:
bcpfas_dom#d1 on /d1: Bad file number
bcpfas_dom#d2 on /d2: Bad file number
bcpfas_dom#d3 on /d3: Bad file number
bcpfas_dom#d4 on /d4: Bad file number
bcpfas_dom#d5 on /d5: Bad file number
bcpfas_dom#d6 on /d6: Bad file number
bcpfas_dom#d17 on /d17: Bad file number

/sbin/advfs/verify says:
verify: can't get set info for domain 'bcpfas_dom'
verify: error = Bad file number
+++ Domain verification +++

main: unable to get info for domain 'bcpfas_dom'
    error: 9, Bad file number

I search /etc/fdmns to note that domain bcpfas_dom is built out of a LSM
diskgroup called "movedg", which contains one volume "movedgvol1", and one
plex within that volume "movedgvol1p1".

volume -g movedg startall says:
gen/volume: Volume mvdgvol1 has no CLEAN or non-volatile ACTIVE plexes

volmend fix says that no plexes are in stale state.

volinfo -pg movedg says:
vol mvdgvol1 gen Unstartable
plex mvdgvol1p1 NODEVICE

Therefore, please help. How go I get the plex recognisable as a device, and
the volume startable?

Your appreciation is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
