Greetings. I'm trying to create a VG on a fiberchannel RAID array
which is around 1.25TB in size. cfgmgr makes the hdisk available, but
whatever I try after that, I get "cannot access a device".

I realize that this size exceeds the limit of 1016 PPs of 1024MB each.
However, the documentation of mkvg says that the "factor" option (-t)
can be used to increase the 1016 PP limit. But when I try this option,
I still get the same error.

Is there some secret to creating VGs with hdisks this big that I'm
missing? (I've tried on AIX 5.1 and 4.3.3, BTW.)

Thanks.
