the savevg is an aix command and should be part of the AIX os. Review the
man pages.
touch a file in /etc: touch /etc/exclude.vgname (the file contains only /*)
savevg -ievf /dev/rmtx vgname
or
savevg -ievf filename vgname (save to a directory in rootvg)
at dr site restore savevg
restvg -q -f filename hdiskx ( This will restore the vg and lv's)

Excellent outline/recap of steps to recover TSM on AIX. However, I have not
heard of the 'savevg' mentioned in the second step. Could you please provide
details? Where can I find documentation to lead me on this path?
