Air Cleaner User Manual
You do not have to use the backup media to recreate a volume group, logical
volume or filesystem on the same system. You can use the media to perform the
recreation on another system, thereby copying an environment from one system to
another.
Note that this option recreates the volume group, logical volumes, and filesystems,
but cannot restore the data. You can use the Restore Data from a Backup option to
restore data.
To recreate one or more volume groups, logical volumes, or filesystems:
1. At a command line, type smit.
2. From the SMIT menu, select IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for System Backup
and Recovery.
3. Select Backup & Recovery Options.
4. Select Recreate Volume Groups, Logical Volumes or Filesystems.
Note: From a command line, type smit sb_create.
5. On the Device Selector screen, highlight the device you want to use and press
Enter.
6. If you selected a tape drive or virtual device, enter the backup sequence
number. The default value is “1”, indicating that you want to use the first
backup on the media. If you “stacked” multiple sequential backups on the
media, and want to use the information from a different backup, enter the
backup number and press Enter.
If you selected a TSM virtual device, select the TSM Backup ID from the list of
backups on the next selector screen.
7. If the backup is a system or volume group backup, select the type of backup
you are going to recreate. You have two options:
Volume Group (all LVs and filesystems)
Logical Volume and/or Filesystem
Highlight the type of backup you are creating and press Enter.
If the backup is a Filesystem or Logical Volume Backup, the recreate type is
assumed to be “Logical Volume and/or Filesystem.”
8. Depending on your response to the previous prompt, select from the
displayed list either a volume group or logical volume to create. To select a
single option, highlight the option and press Enter. To select multiple options,
highlight each option and press F7 to select. When you have made all
selections, press Enter to continue.
9. One of the following screens is displayed. These screens are examples of the
screens that are displayed when you recreate either a single volume group or
two logical volumes from a tape device:
