How to get all lvol sizes??

I am using B180L machine and running HP-UX 10.20. I have made a full backup of
the system. How can i retrieve or get all the logical volume sizes from my
backup tapes? The reason i need this sizes is so that i can fully restore the
system. Currently, my machine is corrupted and cannot be booted up.

Or is there any other ways to fully restore the tapes without knowing the
logical volume sizes?

Thanks.

Hi,

i think, you have made a backup with tar, cpio, fbackup or so.
In this case i would install a new HP-UX on your machine with only three log.
volumes:
Boot : /stand
Swap
Root : / (with all the rest of the disk)
Then you can restore the full backup.

For further backups i would recommed you to look at Ignite !
With the make_recovery -A you can full backup your system an get a bootable !
tape witch includes all the volume information on it.

hope this helps you
