        Hi AhmedGamil84 !

         

        In your last restore the creation of second vg failed due to changes in PP size/number. But the creation of logvolumen was successful. Now you have for datavg exact the same number of disks with the same size. So BMR should work without DDR.

        Since I dont have experience with BMR of AIX Clients: Is there a way to create logvoluemn first in DDR Gui ?

        How did you solved the problem last time ?

        Generic solution: Restore rootvg only using BMR. After AIX is up an running:

        - Create datavg

        - create JFS2 Volumens starting with logvolumen

        - check Size of volumens and correct if necessary

        - perform a "normal" Filerestore

        ciao
