Error description
In AIX 6.1 TL8, 7.1 TL2, and above, varyonvg may fail with the following message, even though the volume group is varied off on all nodes: 0516-1972 varyonvg: The volume group is varied on in other node in concurrent mode; you cannot vary on the volume group in non-concurrent mode. Use -O flag to force varyon the volume group if needed. This can happen for concurrent VGs if the last varyoff is from a passive-mode VG.
Local fix
Use varyonvg -O after checking that the volume group is not varied on at any node.

Problem conclusion
Modify behavior of LVM so that when going offline, or going from active to passive mode, when LVM checks all nodes in the cluster to see if any node is left online, it will ignore nodes that are online in passive-only mode. So when the last active mode node in the cluster is varied off (or brought to passive-only mode), it will clear the varied on state from the disk.
Temporary fix
