    All,

    I used an alt_disk_install disk to sucessfully migrate to 5.2, while
    keeping a copy of 4.3.3. After the upgrade i wanted to remove the 4.3.3
    altinst_rootvg to put the disk back in rootvg.

    But instead of just typing 'alt_disk_install -X' to get rid of the
    altinst_rootvg VG, i accidentally typed 'alt_disk_install -X rootvg' which
    removed the rootvg entry from ODM.

    All the data is still there, like the man page says, so i'm ok for now.
    But i need the magic odm* commands to fix rootvg now... ie what would be
    the reverse of 'alt_disk_install -X rootvg'. Any tips are GREATLY
    appreciated. thanks.

    ray
