AIX Migration to 6.1

[irontek]

Currently working on a migration from 5.2 (I know....) to 6.1 utilizing the alt_disk_install method. The rootvg resides on hdisk0 and hdisk3 which is fine but...... when I reboot with the 6.1 media and select the install method (migration) and hdisk, it shows that hdisk1 and hdisk5 contain the rootvg (hdisk0 and 3 are not listed). I am assuming that there is something mixed up/corrupted within the ODM as I have confirmed that within the OS that hdisk0 and hdisk3 (mirrored) contain the rootvg. Funny thing is both hdisk3 and hdisk5 have the same location code, which tells me that they are the same disk but are being reported differently???

Help would be appreciated....


Thanks

maybe these are your rootvg disks?
see PVIDs not hdisk names - there should be an option to see PVIDs during installation phase where the disks are to be chosen
