If you want to know how many VGDAs a rootvg with 2 disks has, the answer is 3. A VG with 1 disk always has 2 VGDAs while a VG with 2 disks has 3 VGDAs. VGs with more than 2 disks have the same number of VGDAs as the number of hdisks.
You should read the Redbooks suggested by Delgato to understand more about quorum and VGDA.
