We wrote a script that runs a savevg and then runs a mksysb. Running the savevg first puts files into the filesystem (where ever you save them) that are then backed up in the mksysb. If you ever do have to restore a mksysb, you will then have the exact version of the savevg information to restore your VGs and filesystems.

ip6tables-apply
iptables-apply(8) System Manager's Manual iptables-apply(8)
NAME
iptables-apply - a safer way to update iptables remotely
SYNOPSIS
iptables-apply [-hV] [-t timeout] ruleset-file
DESCRIPTION
iptables-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables, then prompt the user
whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this
case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout expired. The timeout can be set with -t.
When called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore instead.
OPTIONS
-t seconds, --timeout seconds
Sets the timeout after which the script will roll back to the previous ruleset.
-h, --help
Display usage information.
-V, --version
Display version information.
