Summary: volume manager 3.5 upgrade

Thanks to Darren Dunham for his expertise.

I used vxdg -C import disk_group to clear the old
block  and I see all the disks under vxdisk list.

After the reboot, all is well and working beautifully.

Thanks also to Vicky Mangat for her response.

Have a great weekend!
