Sorry got my self a little confussed, I remember now mksysb is root only.
The post you wrote Bakunin in the link was excellent. Thanks for the link to it.
This means I will have to restore the data to a new vg group ie newvg, am I right in thinking I could create 2 LV's and put the rootvg data fs on one on LV1 and the datavg data fs on LV2?
This mean's my mksysb will only be good for restoring the root fs?, and that none of the partion or disk information within it will be of any use to me?

working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc.
In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb option to backupios and understand that it doesn't include the NIM resources in the backup.

Hi,
Is it possible to use mkdvd to create a bootable DVD using a mksysb on tape as the source image?
On the system concerned, we don't have enough free space to create the mksysb to file first, so would like to use the existing tape mksysb backup.
The DVD disk/s will then be used to boot a... (4 Replies)
