Need to see your last stanzas in /bosinst.data from the original system. This file will try to point at particular disks by default.

You may want to edit them so that they only say

hdisk0, hdisk1, ... hdiskn (as many as you need) and maybe leave the size requirement there.

Also, make sure the system you are cloning from has all device drivers installed.

Well first you can restore where ever you are allowed to.

After booting add your desired SAN disks and expand your rootvg to include the SAN disks you wanted to target.  Mirror (smit mirrorvg) over the SAN disks.

At this point I would be tempted to physically remove (if possible) the original restore target disk(s) and confirm that you can boot from the SAN mirror copy alone.

Finally remove the original restore target disks, reducevg them out of rootvg.

Michael may know of another way.

Hi,
I created a MKSYSB from a AIX 5.3 machine where the rootvg is on a SAN disk
I wrote the MKSYSB to a DVD
Now i want to restore this MKSYSB on another machine (same type of hardware)
however i can only restore to the local disk's and that's not what is want i want to restore to a SAN disk (just like the original one). The SAN and it's path's are connected because i can boot from them if i want. but i don't see them in the restore divices
please advice ..
