Hi all,

Soon, I'll be performing a NIM restore to a system that doesn't quite
meet the internal disk requirements of the original host. The rootvg
of the server backed up spans 2 36GB disks, mirroed but only approx 8GB
PPs used. The server I'll be recovering to has 4x 18GB disks.

My question: Will the restore process automatically extend to span all
4 disks? Do I need to somehow not mirror the rootvg before backing it
up?

I appreciate any suggestions.

you can extract from you mksysb the image.data file and break the
mirror by changing matching the PP to LP for rootvg filesystems and
leaving only one disk as the source ... or do the simple restore to 2
disks with Shrink FS set to yes... It should fit the configuration of
your target system.
