0m, and recovered from a different device file, such as /dev/rmt/2m, even though the physical device is the same.

Question:

How can I recover a system which has volume groups configured using Cluster-wide Device Special Files (cDSF)?

Ignite-UX supports cluster-wide Device Special Files (cDSF) from the C.7.16.x release. No extra steps need to be performed during the creation of an archive or during the recovery process. If a volume group is configured with cDSFs during the creation of an archive, it is recovered with the cDSFs..

IMPORTANT: During a recovery, the consistency of cDSFs is not checked across the systems sharing the storage. As a recovery archive is from a previous point in time and changes to the cDSFs visible to a system may have occurred, you must ensure that the volume group contains the correct cDSFs before you attempt to use it. Failing to do so may cause data corruption and/or an extended system or application outage. Please consult the io_cdsf_config(1m) manual page for information on how to view, diagnose and correct potential conflicts with cDSFs.
