Hi all,
After unsuccessfully trying the migration again, I finally called IBM. The error code "4BA00830" means that the system cannot find a valid boot image. I tried going into maintenance mode and creating a boot image and got an error stating that it could not create the boot image.
After a long time on the phone with IBM, the errors are finally resolved. It turns out that someone had deleted several groups from the /etc/groups file, some of which are required by AIX. Some of the ones deleted included: sys, security, and mail. The installation of several key filesets failed because these groups were not present.
What finally fixed the issues was to run "lppchk -l" and install the missing filesets, resolving any issues with prerequisites along the way. While trying to install many of the filesets, we got errors about the missing groups, so we created the missing groups and re-ran the installation of those filesets.
Thanks again for your suggestions!
edit by bakunin: many thanks for writing this follow-up. While it should be the obvious thing to do to give back to the community (a solution) after having taken from the community (the time and effort to help solving the problem) it is only rarely done.
This is why i have nominated this post for "post of the week".

NAME
biomaj - downloads and transform remote biological data banks
SYNOPSIS
biomaj [-h]
DESCRIPTION
BioMAJ (BIOlogie Mise A Jour) is a workflow engine dedicated
to data synchronization and processing.The Software automates
the update cycle and the supervision of the locally mirrored
databank repository. User must have roots rights to run biomaj.
OPTIONS
-h display the list of commands.
INSTALL
At installation, BioMAJ requires a database to run (MySQL), installer should first create a database (biomaj_log) and a database user (the
one used at installation setup).
The database configuration for biomaj can be set or modified in /etc/biomaj/db_properties/global.properties.
In the install fails due to a SQL error, the install script must be manually run to create/upgrade the database:
perl /usr/share/biomaj/sql/migration/update.pl
The script will create/upgrade the database and update the configuration files.
ADMIN USER
A default admin user (admin) is created by the scripts. If using the biomaj-watcher, the default password (admin) MUST be changed immedi-
atly via the watcher interface.
If only biomaj core is used, password is useless.
.PP
UPGRADE
In the case of a package upgrade, if properly configured, the migration scripts will be ran automatically at install.
It is possible to run manually the script:
.B See perl /usr/share/biomaj/sql/migration/update.pl -h
for usage.
DATA BANKS
By default, biomaj is configured (data.dir in global.properties) to write banks to /var/lib/biomaj.
EXAMPLES
Update a bank:
biomaj --update genbank
Show console
biomaj --update genbank --console
Show status:
biomaj --status
EXIT STATUS
biomaj returns a zero exist status if it succeeds, it does not represent the bank update status.
