available options for the corresponding field and select an option from the list. To select an option, use the
arrow keys to highlight the desired option and press Enter. The selected option will be placed in the entry

Press the ESC or F3 key from this menu to either return to the Installation and Maintenance Menu if you are
installing a system, or to continue with the options Recreate Volume Groups or Recreate Logical Volumes or
Filesystems on an active system.
Change Volume Group Settings
When selecting this option, you will be presented a list of volume groups as in this example:
The physical volumes on which the volume group is to be defined is also shown. If, however, the original
physical volumes are not available on this system or they are currently assigned to other volume groups, the
physical volume will have been automatically removed from the volume group and you will be required to
reselect physical volumes on which to create the volume group. If there is only one volume group defined, it will
be automatically selected and no list will be shown.
Creating New Volume Groups
The <Add New> option may be selected to define a new volume group. When doing so, a new volume
group name will be assigned for you. You will have the ability to change the volume group name to any one
you choose on the next screen.
You must have at least one free physical volume in order to add a new volume group to the system. After
adding a new volume group, you will then be able to add new logical volumes to it, or move logical volumes
or filesystems from another volume group to your new volume group. This is particularly useful, for
instance, if the system you backed up had only the rootvg volume group, and you want to create multiple
volume groups instead, then migrate some of the filesystems and logical volumes to a different VG.
After selecting a volume group from the list (or selecting to add a new VG), a screen similar to the following
example will be shown:
