AIX ADI for just a TL/SP upgrade help
Is there a way to install a newer TL and SP level to an alternate disk, then boot to that disk?
I've used adi to upgrade an os level but not just a tl or sp level.
When I tried the same way, I received an error saying I cant migrate from aix 5.3 to aix 5.3.

The other options I've found through NIM are just doing a standard software install, but that looks like it will install to the primary os disk. I want to upgrade the broken mirrored disk then just reboot to that disk to take the changes..

Can it be done?

Sure, you can even do it to the same disk.

Check out alt_disk_install and multibos in the docs / man pages.
