       Hello,
       I got a lot of replies and many thanks. I used the following
       command to write to tape:

        vdump -0uf - /|ssh psw285 "dd of=/dev/tape/tape0_d1 bs=60k"

        I hope the following command will work if there is a disk crash
        of OS 4.0F machine to restore the root and /usr FS after
        booting from CD and creating file domains. I cannot test it now.

        Execute the following commands:
        ========================

        mkfdmn /dev/rz........

        mkfset .....

        mount -t advfs file_domain#name /mnt

        dd if=/dev/nrmt0h bs=60k |(cd /mnt;/sbin/vrestore -xf -)

        make the disk bootable

        with regards,
         Kumar
