How to perform savevg and restvg in aix?
Note: Savevg is to
take the backup of the non-rootvg.
The below screenshot would
explain to you about how to take savevg and restvg:
As per the above
screenshot, testvg has only one filesystem named /testfs
That /testfs has only
one file named "profiles.tar.gz"
SAVEVG:
1) savevg command
executed and take the backup of the testvg, on the rootvg ( that is the destination place of the backup is rootvg) as we have much available
space on the rootvg.
2) unmount the /testfs
filesystem
3) varyoff the testvg
volume group
4) Remove the volume
group using exportvg command
5) Now the testvg
volume group has been removed and the disk has to be in none.
RESTVG:
6) Execute the restvg
command "restvg -q -f /rootvg hdisk1" and restore it on the hdisk1
7) It will create the
volume group with the same name on the hdisk1 and restore the content
8) Once the restore
done, we confirm the content of the VG (that the /testfs filesystem is restored
)
