Operating Systems AIX Anyone know how to access rootvg? Post 302259240 by dig1tal on Monday 17th of November 2008 02:16:13 PM

Insert the boot media (either tape or CD) into the drive.

- Power on the system. The system begins booting from the installation media. After
several minutes, c31 is displayed in the LED/LCD panel which means that the
software is prompting on the console for input (normally to select the console device
and then select the language). After making these selections, you see the
Installation and Maintenance menu.

For partitioned systems with an HMC, you can also use the HMC to access SMS and
then select the bootable device, which would bypass the use of a bootlist.

You can also use a NIM server to boot to maintenance. For this you would need to place
your system’s network adapter in your customized service bootlist before any other
bootable devices, or use SMS to specifically request boot over that adapter (the later
option is most common).
