Has  anybody used the /systest/ssr_util/fixvol command to repair an incorrect
logical volume label?

We wanted to re-invol the first 40Mbyte partition  of a two partition 348Mbyte
winchester.  e.g.

Was        1   40218  apollo      /
           2  289439  users       /u

However option 1 of invol was hit by mistake, but realizing this the program
was quit using cntrl. Q

We now have the above disk labeled:

           1 329657  vacancy

Any ideas on recovery from this. The suggestions from HP have not worked. viz.
using the alternative volume label. There appears to be an edit function to
fixvol, but it looks very unfriendly.
