lslv hd2 shows VG STATE: inactive

Question:

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5

  Customer runs the command:  lslv hd2
  Gets back this output:

EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes                                    

The customer wants to know what the VG STATE: inactive stands
for.  I looked at the man pages for the lslv command:

Volume group state --  State of the volume group.  If the 
volume group is activated with the  varyonvg command, the 
state is either active/complete (indicating all physical 
volumes are active) or active/partial (indicating all physical 
volumes are not active).  If the volume group is not activated 
with the  varyonvg command, the state is inactive.

The customer's volume group is varyon and active why is the
vg state on hd2 showing inactive

Next Action:
  I copies over the most current version of the lslv command on
  system which showed the same problem and was cleared up by 
  using the most current version in PTF U439415.
