Chapter 11. Changing the Volume Group, Logical Volume and
Filesystem Attributes
This section describes the process for changing the volume group, logical volume,
and filesystem attributes prior to creating (or recreating) a volume group, logical
volume, or filesystem. The same instructions apply to the following SysBack
processes:
1. Installation of a system from a SysBack system backup
2. Recreation of a volume group from a system or volume group backup
3. Creation of a logical volume or filesystem from a system, volume group, logical
volume or filesystem backup
You can recreate a volume group, logical volume, or filesystem from within the
SMIT menus or using the remakevg command at the command line.
When you recreate a volume group, logical volume, or filesystem, the information
is retrieved from the backup media and compared with the current system
configuration to determine if the hardware resources are available to recreate the
volume group, logical volume or filesystem as defined on the media. If the
configuration matches, you can change the attributes. If the configuration does not
match, messages indicate the differences, and you must change the volume group
or logical volume attributes to fit the new system.
When you select to recreate a volume group, logical volume, or filesystem on an
active system or when you select to Change Volume Group & Logical Volume
Information when installing from a system backup, a screen similar to the
following is displayed:
Notes:
1. The Change Filesystem Attributes option is not displayed if you are installing
a system from a power backup.
