We have been using it for years (now only if the mirroring fails). We use VMIMAGE (well, another userid) over the system volumes only. Once those are restored, we have enough to bring up the system do the incrgen and submit the restores to the HIDRO. It's just full pack overlay minidisks in its directory like this: MDISK 100 3390 0 END 540RES MR We do have to run something to label all the non-system volumes before submitting the restores.

I am curious how you addressed the requirement of creating a userid called VMIMAGE which "owns all the data in the shop." I am concerned about the VMIMAGE user 'owning' the data. What exactly does this mean and kind of 'ownership' are they talking about? Thanks, Dave
