when I install mksysb image on another box than mksysb comes from, what VG would be imported if I select "Import User Volume Groups" to yes? let's say on this new destination box I have hdisk0,1,2,3,4,5, where hdisk0,1 will be used for rootvg, and on the rest of hdisk's there is a VG which which does not come from the system where mksysb was done. Will this VG be somehow imported during the installation when I select yes????

Please explain me the "User Volume Group" meaning in menu below.
Install Options

1. Enable Trusted Computing Base.................................... no
2. Import User Volume Groups........................................ yes
3. Enable System Backups to install any system...................... yes
(Installs all devices and kernels)
4. Remove Java 1.1.8 Software....................................... no
thanks!
