Full Discussion: AIX mksysb medium write error

Hmm,
There are couple of things I can think of

1. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to write the mksysb to NFS mount.
2. Make sure ulimit values are set to unlimited.
3. If the size of your mksysb is big, try to omit the unwanted stuff by adding /etc/exclude.rootvg file in mksysb.

I hope this helps.
