I guess I am confused...forgive me.....Maybe this will help?

Restoring a savevg

Determine which drive to use to make up the restored volume group.
A volume group CANNOT already exist on the
physical drive that you use. Be sure to select all target physical drives.

Using SMIT, enter:

smit restvg
Restore DEVICE or FILE [/dev/rmt0]
SHRINK the filesystems? no
PHYSICAL VOLUME names [ ]
(Leave blank to use the PHYSICAL VOLUMES listed
in the vgname.data file in the backup image)
Number of BLOCKS to read in a single input [ ]
(Leave blank to use a system default)

Be sure to select all physical volumes that will make up the new volume group.

To restore from the command line, enter:

restvg -f /dev/rmt# hdisk# {hdisk# ...}

To restore individual files or directories from a savevg image, treat the savevg like any other relative backup and
restore image.

For example:

restore -xvqf /dev/rmt# ./path/file_to_restore

The savevg is always created with relative path names.

Yes the process submitted for you, i know and it is correct an aplied, but not work in this system. I think with a bug in the system because de lscfg get a correct driver (LTO 3580 ) and AIX its a level 4.3.3.10. My question it's for any person with the same problem.

Thank´s

Solution: the restvg is a script, in AIX 4.3.3.10 ant the level fix for the bos.sysmgt.sysbr 81, he has a bug in the line where
${dd} bs=1k count=1 if=$DEVICE of=/tmp/???? 2>/dev/null

only with the change
${dd} bs=1024b count=1 if=$DEVICE of=/tmp/???? 2>/dev/null

the restvg work fine

Thanks.
