SOS - Reorganize harddisk p670/Aix5.2

[shoux]

Hi all !

What is the procedure or preparation before I reorganize the hardisk.Currently I have 2 volume group i.e rootvg and datavg (included 7 files system) . Later, after formatted the hardisk, I want to restore back to the different new volume group (probably more then 5 vg)

1. What is the suitable backup method can be use?

2. Can 2 volume groups sit in one tape when doing backup? If can. What is the command?

3. what is suitable restore method can be use ?


Please help me.

Thank you in advance

1. backup

2. yes - use the non-rewind version of your tape driver e.g. /dev/rmt0.1

3. restore

savevg / restorevg I guess are of no value in this exercise as you wish to create more than the original 2VGs ?
