Re: Question on unmirroring rootvg before mksysb


The downside is you'll be in for a long night/day testing out that restore speed if a rootvg disk happens to go bad during the mksysb.

Restore (if need be) is definitely faster.

I've heard and/or read many varying opinions on this.
Just wondering what the consensus is out in the real world....

Do you remove mirror copies before backing up rootvg w/mksysb?

Thanks.
