51Backing up and restoring disk group configurations
Restoring a disk group configuration
The following is a sample extract from such a backup file that shows the timestamp and
disk group ID information:
TIMESTAMP
Tue Apr 15 23:27:01 PDT 2003
.
.
.
DISK_GROUP_CONFIGURATION
Group: mydg
dgid: 1047336696.19.xxx.veritas.com
.
.
.
Use the timestamp information to decide which backup contains the relevant information,
and use the
vxconfigrestore command to restore the configuration by specifying the
disk group ID instead of the disk group name.
