    I'm trying to do a mksysb restore from a system with 2 18GB mirrored
    rootvg
    drives to a new machine with 2 36GB drives. When the system boots from the

    mksysb and starts the install it reports the following error:

    "not enough disk space selected to contain os"

    There has to be enough space on the new disk, its twice the size of the
    old one. Has anyone else seen this or
    know of a workaround?

    Thanks,
    Christian Lair
