Hi bakunin,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I just found out that I don't have the fileset
bos.alt_disk_copy.rte which is needed for cloning the disk to hdisk1
and I only have the bos.alt_disk_install.

Though the server is not live yet and the worst thing that could
happen is to reinstall everything, we really cannot afford to
reinstall since most of the vendors are from different parts of
the world who flew in here to do the configuration and installation

There are some application specific configuration in the rootvg
that we could not replicate if any damage is done on the rootvg.

Moreover, I have already have the mksysb and have the SPOT which
is of the same TL level. From the previous document I showed you
I can do the following:

1.) smitty nim_bosinst
2.) choose mksysb
3.) choose the SPOT image

If you are not that busy, can we chat so I can ask some questions?

Thanks and Regards,
Don

BOS_SETRESTRICTED(8)					       AFS Command Reference					      BOS_SETRESTRICTED(8)

NAME
bos_setrestricted - place a server in restricted mode SYNOPSIS
bos setrestricted -server <machine name> -mode 1 [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help] DESCRIPTION
The bos restricted command places the server in restricted mode. This mode increases the security of the bos server by removing access to a number of bos commands that are only used whilst configuring a system. When a server is in restricted mode, access to bos_exec, bos uninstall, bos install, bos create, bos install, bos delete, bos prune is denied, and the use of bos getlog is limited. CAUTIONS
Once a server has been placed in restricted mode, it may not be opened up again using a remote command. That is, bos setrestricted has no method of setting an unrestricted mode. Once a server is restricted, it can only be opened up again by sending it a SIGFPE, which must be done as root on the local machine. OPTIONS
-server <machine name> Indicates the server machine to restrict. -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8). -noauth Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8). -localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see bos(8). -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged in as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included. As noted above, this command cannot be run against servers which are already in restricted mode. SEE ALSO
