I've had this problem before on another machine.
I get an error message trying to do a backup of rootvg
-------------------------------------------------------
bosboot: Boot image is 27253 512 byte blocks.
***** ATTENTION *****
The boot image you just created might fail to boot because
the size exceeds the system limit. For information about
fixes or workarounds, see /usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/README.
***** ATTENTION *****
0301-161 bosboot: dd failed to copy /dev/rmt0.1.
0301-165 bosboot: WARNING! bosboot failed - do not attempt to boot device.
Creating information file (/image.data) for rootvg...
Creating tape boot image.....
0512-016 mksysb: Attempt to create a bootable tape failed:
bosboot -d /dev/rmt0.1 -a failed with return code 48.
---------------------------------------------------------
I don't know whats wrong, tried these things:
- extend the /tmp directory (now 128mb) and it says that it only needs approx 25mb in the /tmp directory
- tried removing unnecessary files from the /usr/sys/inst.images (installation files)
- removed the tape device and adding it again
I still get the error, and I don't know what to try now..
anyone had this problem and found a solution?
