Operating Systems AIX Restore and upgrade concurrently Post 302478689 by kah00na on Wednesday 8th of December 2010 03:48:36 PM
Old 12-08-2010
It seems like somewhere along the line, I had heard at a conference that you can do this. I don't know for sure if this will work or not, but you could try and do this:

Code:
smitty nim --> 
Perform NIM... --> 
Install and Update... --> 
Install the Base Oper... --> 
target machine --> 
mksysb --> 
target machine mksysb --> 
spot for TL4 SP6 --> 

Change the following:
- LPP_SOURCE --> your TL4 SP6 lpp_source
- Accept new license agreements --> yes
- Initiate reboot and installation now? --> no

Then boot your LPAR from its network adapter with the NIM server configured in the SMS menus. I think this should work.

Due to the "ACCEPT new license agreements" in the smit menus, you must be able to install some sort of new software, otherwise, what is the point of that option?

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
