Restoring data when attaching multiple RS/6000 or pSeries

You can restore data on the storage unit when you attach multiple RS/6000® or pSeries™ host systems to the storage unit.

This procedure assumes that you have preserved the data by following the instructions in Saving data on the storage unit when attaching multiple RS/6000 or pSeries hosts.

Complete these steps to restore the data:

  1. Check to be sure that the storage unit physical volumes (hdisks) are available.

    Type lsdev -Cc disk to display the hdisks on the host system.

  2. Type importvg -y xxxx zzzz where xxxx is the name of the volume group, and zzzz is the physical volume that you want to restore.
  3. Type smit chvg to verify that No is selected for the following two options:
    • Activate Volume Group Automatically
