    Suppose I want to create a mksysb file from some LPAR (VM) by the following command:

    nim -Fo define -t mksysb
    -a source="@VM name"
    -a type=mksysb
    -a server=master
    -a location="@path to folder"
    -a mk_image=yes
    -a mksysb_flags=Xe
    "@user input name"

    1. Does mksysb-file created by this command backups only rootVG or it backups all other VGs also ? (As I understood from documentation - only rootVG, but I want to make sure).

    2. Does mksysb-file created by this command backups IP address/hostname of LPAR ? (I didn't find answer on this question in documentation).

    Thank you in advance,
    Arkady.

    1. Yes
    2. Yes, if rootvg is backed up, then all settings too.
