The solution is to specify the disk group by its ID rather than by its name to

perform the restoration. The backup file, /etc/vx/cbr/bk/diskgroup. dgid/

dgid.dginfo, contains a timestamp that records when the backup was taken.

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.
