AIX 6.1 installation hanging
Hi There

I am trying to install AIX6.1 from a NIM server, but the installation hangs on 90% Filesets processed 551 of 571.

Is there some log somewhere to check why it is failing or hanging?

I have done it before successfully, with the same spot and lpp_source.

I am new to AIX and still trying to figure out our AIX environment.

We have a POWER 7 Bladecenter with a 702 powerblade and manage the lpars through Integrated Virtualization Manager.
No HMC installed.

Thanks

Opened my eyes....
This is where the installation stops:

Code:
Filesets processed: 551 of 571 
System Installation Time: 17 minutes Tasks Complete: 90% 
 
installp: APPLYING software for: 
DirectorPlatformAgent 6.1.2.0

Nothing happens after this.

Just an idea: AIX tends to not getting 10/100MBit network cards in the correct mode when in Autosense mode. You might want to check if the switchport is configured to be at 100-Full-Duplex fixed.

I saw the phenomenon you describe (installations being so painfully slow the seem to be halted) in an environment where the switches where configured for Autosense and setting them to 100/Full did correct the problem.

I hope this helps.

You can set the network speed/duplex settings in the NIM definition of the machine
