Dear all

The Harddisk which contains "Rootvg" is corrupted. We are not having
mirroring done for this. Can you please answer for my queries which are
related to recovery of rootvg.

1. We are using Storix to take the Rootvg backup. We use TSM for daily
backups, which takes entire system backup. In our case, just restoring
the "Rootvg" is enough to get the system back online? Please let me
know the steps involved in this.

2. This server is "7015-R30" model. We cant place another hard disk in
the system cabinet. Please let me know, whether we can mirror this
with one of the SSA disks. Please advice on how to achieve mirroring.

Thanks
Kittappa
