Re: Question on unmirroring rootvg before mksysb


Wow, I guess its been a long day.  You wouldn't have to restore you could just boot off the good unmirrored disk and be back up and running, but you will require some manual intervention and have downtime.  Bad if you are 24x7 shop.

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.
