Here is some background:

I had successfully installed the VIOS as well as AIX 6.1. I did not create the AIX 6.1 as an LPAR but just installed the AIX 6.1 as a stand alone install. By installing the AIX 6.1, the VIOS software was wiped out.

How can I get past this error 0518 error now? Thanks for any help

When you say you installed the VIO server software as well as AIX 6.1 do you mean you installed both on the same LPAR?

If so it is no wonder you wiped out the VIO installation as they are both seperate entities! Had you intended to do an alt-disk-install? Not that I am sure that is possible with this configuration!

As far as your error is concerned here a definition of the LED error code:

518 Remote mount of the root and /usr file systems failed during network boot.

Have you checked the configuration of the LPAR in SMS? It appears you have no ROOTVG!
