You need to restore the volume that the 'user' mount point refers to and
all of the volumes that are mounted underneath that volume.  If the
volume that 'user' mounts is "root.user", then you need to restore that.

You have the dump files so that makes things a bit easier but you will
should make an attempt to restore the volumes to the same volume ids and
location (server/partition) that they were originally located at.

Are you sure that the only partition that was formatted or damaged is
psrwjmsafs1/vicepc ?

If so "vos listvldb -server psrwjmsafs1 -partition vicepc -noresolve" to
obtain the list of volumes that need to be restored and their volume ID
numbers.

You will restore each volume with the "vos restore" command to the same
server, partition, volume-name, volume-id.

If there are readonly replica sites on that partition you will need to
"vos release" those volumes.

If there are .backup volumes, you will need to decide how you want to
recreate them.  If you don't care about the old data, then you can just
create a new .backup after you perform the restore of the rw volume.

You haven't provided enough details to be more specific.
