Once the tape drive is inthe boot list simply insert the mksysb tape into the drive and power on - the tape has a boot image and will restore the rootvg automatically. There are a few screens to answer, but they are pretty intuitive and straigtforward.

I hope this helps.

For recovery I have this same tape device (type and model) and faster/more powerfull RS6000. I want to save time and try to load the system from mksysb backup I hope that's will be possible, I don't know exac configuration yet.

This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced function as well as of the original documentation is unknown. It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>. Occasionally this might be wrong.
