b. The rootvg volume group is varied on.

c. The rootvg volume group is checked to ensure that enough space is available to recreate the root

(/) and /usr filesystems at the size necessary to restore the data from the backup. If not, you will be
informed so and the installation will terminate, providing only an option to reboot the system. It is
not possible to varyoff the rootvg volume group once it is varied on, therefore the installation may
not be continued.

d. The current root and /usr filesystems and their corresponding logical volumes are removed and

recreated at the minimum size required to restore the data. Note that this often provides more free
space on the system after the recovery is complete.

e. The root and /usr filesystems are restored from the backup.

f. The system and devices are reconfigured as needed from the backup information.

g. Additional device support is automatically installed to support the system if an AIX Installation

CDROM is in the CDROM drive.

h. The boot logical volume and boot list is updated.

i. The system is rebooted in normal mode.

the SBAdmin boot media.

To do so, select the

System Recovery Utilities
