Response:

Chris faxed me his scenario. I faxed to Lee Miller and assigned
call to dssp.


Response:

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5
  sysback 3.3.1.12

Desc:
  Customer creates a full system backup (rootvg, oraclevg)
  The customer then tries to recreate the oraclevg from smit
  and gets a usuage error.  The command being run is this:

  remakevg -FNe SMIT -f /dev/rmt0 -h sple0cnt -v oraclevg

Action:
  I am able to reproduce this in the lab!!

  The problem is with the -N flag, it should probaby be a -n
  instead.  

Next Action:
  I will call the customer and have them run this from the 
  command line with this syntax

  remakevg -Ff /dev/rmt0 -h hostname -v oraclevg

  Opening a defect against sysback

Response:

This is a known bug with sysback:

20     Syntax error in SMIT when recreating a volume group
       from a System Backup.

       Workaround: Use F6 to get command SMIT is using and
       execute at the command line, substituting an 'n' for 'N'.

Next Action:
