Now, restore the data from your backup onto the replacement disk for the logical volumes identified in step 3.12. For raw volumes, you can simply restore the full raw volume using the utility that was used to create your backup. For file systems, you will need to recreate the file systems first.

For our example:

For HFS:


        # newfs -L /dev/vg00/rlvol3
For JFS:

        # newfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol3

Note that we use the raw logical volume device file for the newfs command.

For file systems that had non-default configurations, please consult the man page of newfs for the correct options. Then, mount the file system under the mount point that it previously occupied. Once this is done, restore the data for that file system from your full backups.
