The following verification routine is part of a script used to automate cloning rootvg. This routine determines which disks are available for use. Applying the logic, what configuration of disk…

NPIV-virtualized SAN disks are typically excluded by AIX cloning scripts because they require specific boot configuration support and the script logic filters them out as unsuitable primary targets.

This disk is already a member of vg00, meaning it has active LVM metadata, and the script rejects any disk that belongs to an existing volume group to prevent data loss.

This disk already contains the altinst_rootvg volume group, so it is not unallocated and would be excluded by the script's check for disks with no existing volume group assignment.

A Virtual SCSI disk not belonging to any volume group satisfies both conditions checked by rootvg cloning scripts: it is accessible as a standard block device and carries no existing LVM metadata that would conflict with the clone operation. Virtual SCSI disks in AIX LPARs are fully supported for alt_disk_copy operations, making this the valid candidate.
