Operating Systems AIX NIM Restore hangs at the start Post 302785077 by elcounto on Sunday 24th of March 2013 04:06:24 PM

OK I did d a mksysb install alright-ish. Came up with the following error but I managed to copy a unix_up file from somewhere else into /usr/lib/boot/unix_up.

Code:
0301-153 bosboot: /unix not found.
BOS Install: Could not create boot image.
   ID#        OPTION
     1        Continue
     2        Perform System Maintenance and Then Continue
   Enter ID number: 2

So it came to the reboot and failed with no operating system. I again went into the sms menu and it shows no hard disks. I'm pretty sure the nim install worked OK this time.

Code:
