How do I change the size of PP's in rootvg.  Here is the scenario:

1) I have two 1GB drives is rootvg on a system running 3.2.5.1
2) I want to add two 4.5GB drives.
3) I then want to remove the two 1GB drives.

The question is how do I get around the 1016 LP limitation?

Any suggestions/help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

There is a file called /usr/lpp/bosinst/bosrvg (I think) that is the
script used by mksysb during the restore. This is what sets the page
size for rootvg. You can modify the script increase the page size to
something you can use. Then run mkfszie and edit /.fs.size to reflect
your new page size. Its set up for 4mb pages, adjust the file system
sizes down according to whatever you use for your new page size. Then run
mksysb (be careful not to cream .fs.size). Pull out your 1gb drives,
install your new drives and restore the tape.

If you have the slightest doubt about this procedure, try to get the
faxback document.
