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
