When the first reply from Serguei came in I tried it immediately
and it worked fine:
Just create a directory in /etc/fdmns, and populate it with symbolic
links to the devices belonging to the volume you want to recover,
and that's it. E.g., for a domain called 'usr_domain' consisting of
a single partition g on rz16, do:
cd /etc/fdmns
mkdir usr_domain
cd usr_domain
ln -s /dev/rz16g rz16g
It may be a good idea to run "/sbin/advfs/verify usr_domain" immediately
afterwards. The whole procedure is described somewhere in the advfs manual
pages.
Cheers,

Tom pointed out:
You need to go back to a recent system backup from before you lost the disk
and restore the /etc/fdmns directory contents. Otherwise, you have to create
the directory by hand and populate it with the right information to make your
AdvFS domain accessible again.
This should be explained in the System Administration manual, which you should
have in hardcopy and read in detail.
