Assistance with setting up an AIX server for DR
I need some assistance in setting up an AIX server for DR. The server I am building is an RS/6000 B50 Type 7046 with AIX 4.3.3. I am restoring a mksysb from a backup tape from our current production server which has different hardware specs. When I attempt the mksysb restore, I receive the following error message:

Error Warning

An invalid disk (10-60-00-8,0) was specified in the
location field of the data file.


To reboot in normal mode, turn key to normal (if necessary)
and press reset.

>>> 1 Continue with Install

I continued with the install, and it did complete. I can login and see our queues, etc. However, when I shutdown I receive several out of disk space messages. And the big problem is I am unable and or don't really know how to recover our data set from tape. I don't have an hd1 volume setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can you post the exact error messages when you shut down?
