Thanks for the very detailed response Robin, this relieves some of my "unknown pain points" around the process. The P9 is in pre-production so I wanted to take the time to blow away rootvg and restore it (for documentation purposes), better now than when the system is live and something goes sideways resulting in needing to restore rootvg for which I have no proven guide to rely on.
My plan is to restore MKSYSB to the same hardware and document, so should not have any IP conflicts and such.
Into the unknown I go

Pretty penny's.
Just remember that mksysb and savevg are just front-ends for backup.
In other words, backups on AIX are organized by volume groups. mksysb is specialized for rootvg and savevg is used for other volume groups.
Ignoring that rootvg also creates files needed to boot a system... (1 Reply)
