Closed as program error.
Error description
varyonvg can fail when varying on a VG used for async glvm where the mirror pool that the cache LV is defined on no longer exists on any PVs. This would most commonly be expected if an async glvm LV and it's cache LV were mirrored to an extra disk, and that disk was then used to force a recreatevg from just the one disk for backup purposes. In this case, when recreatevg runs import/varyonvg, that would fail like: # recreatevg -y glvg1_c1 -f hdisk3 The assert subroutine failed: mp->mp_id == mp_id, file asyncmp.c, line 852 /usr/sbin/importvg[596]: 7143532 IOT/Abort trap(coredump) 0516-780 importvg: Unable to import volume group from hdisk3. 0516-1320 recreatevg: Unable to recreate volume group.

Problem conclusion
Correct checks of mirror pools for async glvm cache lv in the varyonvg code to allow for this possibility of recreating or varying on a vg when not all of the mirror pools that the cachelv has assigned exist in the VG at this time.
Temporary fix
