Assuming your backup includes ;directory option (you've already said
it includes SLT),
1. boot from alternate path and choose INSTALL (assuming alternate
path is your tape drive)
2. after INSTALL completes, boot from primary path and perform START
NORECOVERY.
3. use VOLUTIL to add ldev 2 to MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.
4. restore directory from backup (:restore *t;;directory)
5. openq lp
6. perform full restore:
:file t;dev=7(?)
:restore *t;/;keep;show=offline;olddate;create;partdb;progress=5
7. perform START NORECOVERY
Bingo, you're back up.
