Hi Arup,
Serial Split brain on diskgroup means that while while importing the diskgroup vxvm is finding multiple copies of diskgroup configuration & hence vxvm is confused on which copy is right copy & which copy should be used to import the diskgroup. This can possibly happen if you were importing diskgroups on multiple systems
As the error is suggesting, you should execute vxsplitlines command, see below link for an e.g
http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/sf/5.0/aix/manpages/vxvm/vxsplitlines_1m.html
Also refer to below technote to see how you can fix the issue

Gaurav,thanks for your reply.It works & issue got resolved.
============================
root@komas2o:/etc/vx/bin# /etc/vx/bin/vxsplitlines -v -g ossdg
/etc/vx/bin/vxsplitlines[716]: getopts: v bad option(s)
[ ########## ]
VxVM vxsplitlines NOTICE V-5-2-2708 There are 1 pools.
The Following are the disks in each pool. Each disk in the same pool
has config copies that are similar.
VxVM vxsplitlines INFO V-5-2-2707 Pool 0.
c1t1d0s2 disk3
To see the configuration copy from this disk issue
/etc/vx/diag.d/vxprivutil dumpconfig /dev/vx/dmp/c1t1d0s2
To import the diskgroup with config copy from this
disk use the following command
/usr/sbin/vxdg -o selectcp=1322656750.19.komas2o import ossdg
The following are the disks whose ssb ids don't match in this config
copy
disk5mirr
root@komas2o:/etc/vx/bin#
========================================
As only one pool showing I just run the /usr/sbin/vxdg -o selectcp=1322656750.19.komas2o import ossdg.Then start the volumes manually.
