I am trying to do an alternate disk migration, and its keep failing at Phase 5:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Executing nimadm phase 5.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Saving system configuration files.
/usr/bin/lslpp: No such file or directory
0505-177 nimadm: An unrecoverable error has occurred during pre-install
processing.
Cleaning up alt_disk_migration on the NIM master.
Unmounting client mounts on the NIM master.


Any ideas?

TIA
 
Have enough disk space in the client's / and /tmp?
 
khz:

thx for the response.

Very strange, I managed to overcome this error.

I can do an alt_clone perfectly fine (when using alt_disk_install), however using nimadm's phase 1 does not clone the rootvg completly. It complains about filesystem space does not exist, when doing a restore...

Can you think of a reason why this would happen?
 
What VG are you selecting when doing the operation, and does it have enough space? Also, the client / and /tmp filesystems need at least 500MB free.

You can try to run in verbose and/or debug mode to get more information.
