    Bill, that would be wonderful if you would share your scripts to rebuild
    the remainding volume groups. I have the same in place for our HP systems
    but am just getting started with AIX.

    We do it all the time. We keep a set of AIX OS CD's offsite in our 'crash
    cart' vault. This vault contains procedures, pens, pencils, CDs,
    documentation and an inventory of what is in the vault itself.

    From there, we just recall the 'crash cart' vault and the vault with the
    mksysb tapes. We clone the server as we would any other 'clone' operation
    and away we go.

    We utilize some home-grown scripts that reside in rootvg to rebuild our
    other filesystems. I can send those to you if you wish.

    Has anyone used the mksysb tape to clone a 4.33 OS at a Disaster Recovery
    Site? If so, would you mind sharing your procedures and any gotchas that
    surfaced? This will be our first attempt and we have no development server
    to test on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
