Hi *,
I want to upgrade from AIX5.1 to 5.2 with nim.
During the installation process i have following message:

Installing additional SW
Installp: the specified device
/.SPOT/usr/sys/inst.image
is not a valid device or file.

the following packages were rquestet for installation
but were not found on media
cdrecord
mkisofs


Any ideas ?
thanks
 

Is the SPOT resource is NFS mountable in order on the mentioned system? I had some similar problems with NIM BOS installations.

Does the IP address change during upgrade?
If the box uses more IP addresses, can the default/outgoing IP address change? (might occur when routing changes)

Anyway, check NFS behavior. All IP addresses in NFS context must be reverse-resolvable.
