lost bosboot after unmirroring

[billo102]

Hi,

I unmirrored a root volume group and now I get the following error when I do the command below. I followed the steps to unmirror rootvg from this link

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/05/01/unmirror-rootvg-root-volume-group-in-aix/

neptune:/::bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk0

0301-168 bosboot: The current boot logical volume, /dev/hd5,
does not exist on /dev/hdisk0.

Any ideas?

First of all, show us the output of:
lspv
lsvg -l rootvg
lspv -l hdisk0

Have you tried first to

chpv -c hdisk0?

and then

bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk0

If so then =>

Those sites referenced in the other answers may have eventually gotten to this, but this is what I use:

Create a link between the boot device indicated and the /dev/ipldevice file. Enter:

rm ipldevice

ln /dev/boot_device_name /dev/ipldevice
example:

ln /dev/rhdisk0 /dev/ipldevice

Then run
bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0

and

bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice
