Bill, your colleague was correct, you can restore a non bootable mksysb tape using an install cd. As opposed to doing that, though, just backup your mksysb to a file on your CWS, and then use NIM to restore that mksysb onto your new node. It will handle the tough stuff for ya. You can also do a savevg for all non-rootvg vgs. Still doesn't get any raw devices though, like SysBack will.
