Operating Systems AIX Install AIX lpar via hmc, can't access cd drive Post 302892533 by rbatte1 on Thursday 13th of March 2014 10:23:43 AM

Have you assigned the CD device to the LPAR?

If there is not a boot record on any of the disks, you will probably drop to SMS / firmware. Try to explore the disks by following the menus to select a boot device and then get it to list all the devices.


I hope that this helps,
