recover rootvg

[baderoor]

i did a cloning of rootvg but in the process the filesystem got corrupted so i couldnt boot from the original rootvg.i went into maintenance mode to recover rootvg,but the problem is when trying to do a bosboot it says that there is not enough space on / ,yes i know that / is running off ram but how can i access /dev/hd4 which is where my real / is ? do i change the PATH manually ? if so how do i do it ? or is there another method of recovering this.

Are you booting from hard disk, from cdrom or from tape?

i resolved the problem thanks my filesystem was corrupted i had to edit the /etc/filesystem by adding /,/home,/var,/usr,/tmp to be able to mount hte existing fs on the hdisk.

firstly check what oslevel you running then tak that level of cd's eg aix 431 put first cd in then you will have to change your boot sequence to cd0 'bootlist -m normal cd0
