AIX Boot Floppy Disk??

[FrankieAIX]

Is it possible to create a Floppy Disk to have my server automatically boot from the network?

IE: place boot floppy in server, boot server and at RS6000 logo screen hit the #5 interrupt key to scan default bootlist in which the floppy will contain information to boot from the network..

Is this at all possible and if so are there any good resources on the net to guide me in creating this?


Thanks!

Or create a a Boot CD that would do the same......

Network boot functionality is already built into the SMS menus that you access by hitting either 1 or F1 on bootup.

hirschaj,

Yes thank you I am already aware of that, and presently use SMS for network boot.

I am trying to make the process as automated as I can without having to go through the SMS menu's..
