We have noticed a message from the errlogger command in the errorlog.
It is generated from /etc/lpp/diagnostics/bin/run_ela.
AIX is 3.2.5
it says:

MESSAGE FROM errlogger COMMAND
hdisk1vg: Error Log Analysis has detected error(s) that may require
your attention.
It does the same for another volume group called hdisk2vg as well.
What does that mean ?
How to investigate further ?
This has been seen at a number of customer locations |||
ANSWER
After looking through the run_ela script found in /etc/lpp/diagnostics/bi
I suspect that this problem is due to the naming convention used on your
system. In the run_ela script you will see a line that looks like:
DEVICES=`odmget -q"name like hdisk* and chgstatus ¢= 3" CuDv`
Since the run_ela script expects anything that begins with hdisk to be
the name of a hard disk and you have some volume groups that begin
with hdisk the script thinks the volume groups are a hard disk. In
order to solve this problem change the * that is after hdisk to a ?
(Question Mark). When the odmget command is executed anything that
begins with hdisk and has one character following it will be assumed
to be the name of a hard disk. If you have more than 9 hard disks
then this will not test any hard disk past number 9.
Also clear the error log after you make the change:
errclear 0
An alternative solution would be to unmount, varyoff and export each
of the volume groups. Then you can import them under a new name that
does not begin with hdisk.
