Restoring from a make_recovery

[Chris Zimo]

I am sort of new to HP-UX, and I am trying to educate myself on what actually is restored to a system from a make_recovery tape. I have read from several sources that only the root volume group is restored. My question is do I have to recreate my other volume groups after restoring from my make_recovery tape, then restore the rest of my files from my nightly backup tape? Or are all volume groups (taking into consideration vg00 is already restored) restored from my make_recovery minus the data held within the volume groups?

Once you restore you root vg you can do a vg import of other volume groups.

vgimport vg01 /dev/dsk/c1t0d1 ...

An easy way to do this is export your volume groups to a mapfile (man vgexport). Keep those map files in /etc/ so they are part of the restore, then you can do a

vgimport -m mapfile -s -v vgname
