Error How to restore rootvg archive after AIX 6.1 crash
Hello,
Few days ago I created both mksysb and savevg archives of rootvg.
How can I restore this rootvg now because the AIX crashed during some software tests. There is no way to start from hdisk0 because most of the system files are deleted (this includes libc.a).
I tough it will be trivial task to restore the system from archive, but when I booted from original AIX 6.1 DVD it only accepts restoration from tape or DVD. I have this archives on NFS.
I tried to mount iscsi but the operation failed because of missing command ...
I'm using the original IBM AIX DVD. The machine is IBM P520.
We have VIOS server installed on it.

Thank you in advance for your help.
