The location of the OS disks really does not matter. You generate the tape the same way:

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/?mn -I -v -m tar -x inc_entire=vg00

I recommend using Ignite ONLY for VG00. Do not back up and production data with it. You should have other backups for that.
