PReP-BOOT could not open deblocker

[khhoban]

We are attempting to upgrade from an IBM H50 to an IBM H80. We're using a bootable tape created by sysback from the H50, but run into the PReP-BOOT issue when we try to restore it on the H80. We've tried mksysb's with no success, also. If more details are required, I can provide, but is there something simple that we don't know about, when moving across these platforms??

Thanks.

Hi,
try to clone this backup.

1. Boot the H80 from CD (AIX)
2. Instead to install from it you will find a option where you can tell your system to install from a mksysb.

Sorry, but I don't remember exactly where this menu points are located.

Good luck
