To resolve this you need do two things:
lspv -free as padmin must return the alternate disk as free
If not run
chpv -C hdiskXX

The -C parameter should be in upper case:

run the lspv -free as padmin and you will see that the disk is free now.

If the installation fail again, you will need reject the bos.alt_disk_install.boot_images like below:

  • installp -r bos.alt_disk_install.boot_images

I needed remove only the fileset above.
Please, follow the two links below for a more complete explanation:
