We found that using SYSBACK worked better than MKSYSB for our system backups
because it recreates our logical volumes and vg's.  Be very careful at Sunguard
(its who we use for our DR too) because they have both 3590b and e drives so if
you use the 3590's you can only boot from the same e or b as you have at your
home site.

But AIX will be restored first  from mksysb and then you will create volume
groups logical volumes ,
which is out put of commands  df -k ,     lsvg -o | lsvg -i -l,   lsvg   lsdev
-C | sort -d -f etc..
your step 6  says restore AIX , so your are installing fresh copy of AIX? and
your step 6  says restore AIX , so your are installing fresh copy of AIX? and
not from mksysb?

I am doing the same thing now (Sungarde too).
But I am not restore AIX, because before we restore DB it is impossible
(except using other media or tar which required more daily operation).
1. install AIX
2. install library
2  install TSM
3  follow your DRMPLAN (Which is part of your DRM) copy Devconfig,
dsmserv.opt and volhist files,
4. do dsmfmt -db and dsmfmt -log (make sure the db size and log size)
5. dsmserv restore devc=devclass_name vol=vol_name1,vol_name_2 commit=yes
6. then you can restore the AIX.
