ADSM will be reinstalled using the mksysb. This way the orginal files
and configurations will be intact.

One method of crash recovery I was thinking of is running a tar against
the filesystems. If any of the disk fails, I would install the OS using
the
mksysb which also contains the ADSM server application then restoring
the files. Any thoughts on this?

           If the ADSM server application is in rootvg, will it be
   reinstalled
   as part of restoring the mksysb, or do you intend to reinstall it
   from the
   CD?
