Odd. I did not see that. I'll attribute it to a PEBKAC error (Problem
Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

Bill,
I have the option when restoring from an AIX 5.1 mksysb tape after booting
from the installation cd:
System Backup Installation and Settings
Either type 0 and press Enter to install with the current settings, or type
the
number of the setting you want to change and press Enter.
Setting: Current Choice(s):
1 Disk(s) where you want to install ...... hdisk0...
Use Maps............................. No
2 Shrink File Systems..................... No
>>> 0 Install with the settings listed above.
+-----------------------------------------------------
88 Help ? | WARNING: Base Operating System Installation
will
| destroy or impair recovery of ALL data on the
| destination disk hdisk0.
>>> Choice [0]: 1

That was my agenda for today. I had planned on doing it that way.
Question is - where is this menu option now ?

First, run mkszfile.
Then edit /image.data. You could simply change the logical_volume_policy
stanza to specify SHRINK= yes, which will affect every LV, or you could
change individual LV stanzas to specify a new size.
Once that's done, run a mksysb without the -i or -m flags.
Finally, use this mksysb to restore your system. Since it's been taken on
the same system you can boot straight from tape, if you like: no need to go
through the full cloning procedure.
