I have a new AIX serveur with POWER5 architecture and iwould restore an mksysb made from an POWER4, It do not work properly. Can anyone tell me it's possible to do that ?
Thanks for your help

I think Plamb meant to say the power5 minimum is AIX 5.2 ML4.
So make sure your power4 system is 5.2 ML4 and you will also need to do a Migration install / restore to the power5 machine, so you will need IBM AIX install media (CD) of at least AIX 5.2 ML4 and it must be the same level / ML as the system yor are trying to restore.
When you need to load a power5 machine you need apars / ptfs to get it running as intended, so if you load 5.2ML4 or higher or 5.3, check the IBM website and pick up the latest patches once it is loaded.
thanks everybody
the power4 & power5 system are at ML4 (5.2). The hardware is not the same (scsi, rootvg, etc...), should I modify stanzas in the image.data file.

Thanks.
I have restored my mksysb on this new machine and I want to to recover VG but my san is not connected dor the moment, how can i see my VG in any case or should I restore them when I connect my san ?
cfgmgr
lspv -> Do you see Disks ?
If not check Connections, SAN, Firmware Level
If you see the Disk:
chdev -l <hdiskx> -a pv=clear
chdev -l <hdiskx> -a pv=yes
importvg -y <vgname> <hdiskx>
