Hi Bakunin,

Thanks for the help. I will try this one and let you know. Hope everything goes smooth and if not I hope I can ask again for help. Thanks a lot.

Hi Bakunin,

Just an update. I seek IBM engineer advice to make sure everything works fine. He told me to do the following:

1.) unmirrorvg hdisk1
2.) reducevg hdisk1
3.) bosboot -a hdisk1
4.) bootlist -m hdisk0
5.) Create mksysb via NIM
6.) Install in hdisk0

If everything fails, I can still set the boot device to hdisk1. I am going to do it tomorrow. So does it mean that if I trigger the backup in NIM the server will automatically restart and I will need to set the IPL to network?

Thanks and Regards,
Don

       --modules=MODULES
	      Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.
