I have a system with 4 internal disks, none of which are mirrored in four
volume groups.
 
The disk with vg00 on it is damaged and we now have a new disk.
 
Unfortunately, we did not have a make_recovery tape since it's a development
server and not a production one.
 
I have booted from CD and have started installing HP-UX onto the new disk
after setting the filesystems to be the same as on the system before the
disk was damaged. I.e. made them the same size and added a couple of our
own.
 
Once the HP-UX install has gone on, I am expecting to have to restore from
backup. (Yes, we do have a full system backup).
 
However, the question is what do install. I would assume you would not
overwrite everything as some system files may be different.
 
What about the other three volume groups, would they need to be restored
with vgcfgrestore.
 
I have looked at the HP Docs but they all seem to assume you have a
make_recovery tape which isn't much good to me!
 
Hope someone can help,
Nick.
