Hello aix.rockie, and welcome.

Don't worry about being new, we all were once. Let's see if we can help you.

What is your mksysb image stored on?

When you activate an LPAR, you will be able to interrupt the process and choose to boot from a variety of devices, such as hard disk (an installed OS), tape, CD (or DVD) network (NIM boot) etc. You have to get your mksysb image available as one of these.

What would work for you?

What else do you have on the physical server?
