Customer called back based on pmail left.                                       
Customer will be installing NWAYS Mgr for AIX for "C"ustomers and wants         
to know if the NWAYS installation can place all files in non-rootvg             
filesystems. The customer has a standard rootvg volume group and wants          
to keep it standard for general responsiveness for restoring the system         
(rootvg) without having a library of mksysb tapes.                              
If the isolation is not "perfect" to non-rootvg filesystems, customer           
would like to have identified the exceptions.                                   
Research and call customer back with recommendation.

Researching capability for creating non-rootvg filesystems for NWAYS.           
Called customer and left message with indication of some preliminary

expansion considerations rather than the pure install allocations.
