hmm, just to make sure i understand the situation correctly:
- you have (POWER6) managed system
- you want to boot from an internal disk
- on the disk a VIOS image is installed
On the case of 3 "yes"es: you need to install the LPAR anyway, so boot it via NIM methods (mksysb+spot). You can the select the disk to install to and this disk will be wiped first, so the VIOS image will go away. Only then (after installation) you can boot from the disk.
I hope this helps.

CDROM can be seen on the POWERVM (IVM) server , but through the web-access if I move it ( assign it ) to LPAR it will be assigned. I run cfgmgr , and the cdrom does not show up in the LPAR. I firmly believe this is the reason why I... (2 Replies)

ivmconfigconditions.xml
IVMCONFIGCONDITIONS.XML(5) File Formats Manual IVMCONFIGCONDITIONS.XML(5)
NAME
IvmConfigConditions.xml - rules for processing hardware conditions by ivman(8)
DESCRIPTION
IvmConfigConditions.xml specifies hardware conditions to be caught by ivman(8), and allows running of certain commands when devices emit
conditions.
IvmConfigConditions.xml is parsed as an XML file. The general form of the file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivm:ConditionsConfig version="0.1" xmlns:ivm="http://www.eikke.com/ivm">
<ivm:Match name="matchname" value="matchvalue">
<ivm:Condition name="conditionname1" exec="command1" />
<ivm:Condition name="conditionname1" exec="command1" />
</ivm:Match>
...
</ivm:PropertiesConfig>
Each time a condition is emitted by a device, this file will be parsed. If the Match rule matches the device on which the condition came
from, and the Condition rule matches the name of the condition which occurred, then the command specified in the 'exec' option will be exe-
cuted.
A Match element can have any of the following names:
ivm.mountable
Whether or not HAL specifies that a device can and should be mounted. Must be "true" or "false".
hal.anything
The string in place of "anything" will be taken as the name of a HAL property string for the device, and the value of the prop-
erty will be compared to the value given. Run 'lshal' to see a list of HAL properties which can be used here.
* Match every device. Use with care!
As many Matches can be nested as is desired.
Condition names usually take the form of something like 'ButtonPressed', which may occur when an ACPI-enabled button is pressed on your
machine. See the HAL specification for a full list of possible conditions.
The exec attributes of Condition tags support substitution of HAL device properties. This is accomplished by surrounding the property name
with $ symbols. For instance, if $hal.volume.mount_point$ is within a command, it will be replaced with the volume's mount point before
execution. No character escaping is done in the substitution, but the characters ' and " are replaced with ?, so you can surround the sub-
stitution with quotes without fear.
Remember that this is an XML file, which means that characters which have a special meaning in XML (entities) need to be escaped. Some
characters which are popular in shell scripting (&, <, >) are among these special characters. As a quick reference, & becomes & , <
becomes < , > becomes > , ' becomes ' and " becomes " .
