Hi guys,
Thanks for following up. We gave up on the mirror - ran out of time. We tried a mksysb via mkcd as well. That kept failing on error code 0c31 - no console selected. We tried modifying bosinst.data a couple of times but I guess we just don't have enough practice at this stuff.
Got some...
Hi Guys,
We are trying the suggestion made by cts123. Put the drive in our working 5.1ML04 system. Mirror the rootvg to our new drive then break the mirror. The mirror part seemed OK but we didn't really know how to test it. However we think we made a mistake in the "breaking" part because when...

We are going to try to so a NIM boot install...
Hi khalidaa,

Is this possible or are you saying once we have 5.2 on the system we cannot go back to 5.1 even as a complete overwrite?
Thanks for your reply!
Hi Frankie,
Thanks for your reply. All these machines were running AIX 5.2 before and this is a full set of install CD's.
The situation is that one machine will not boot from the HD which we are trying to replace - so we need to do a new install preferably from CD but - it will not boot from...
Hi,
We are trying to boot a power4 system 9114-275 from AIX 5.1 CDs? We had AIX 5.2 CD's originally but they are lost.
We have a couple of different 9114-275's and none of these systems will boot from these CDs.
We have set the CD device as the first item in the boot list in the open...
