I'd check for enough free space in /tmp

p5wizard,
I checked /tmp file, /tmp is 22% full and has 350mb free space remaining.

Thanks

check the number of inodes available.

what kind of upgrade is this?

you can also boot into maintenance and fsck /tmp

Which version of AIX?

A workaround is as follows:

edit /usr/sbin/bosboot change total=0 to total=80

Permanent fixes:

IX74905 - (AIXV41 only) BOOT RAM FILESYSTEM IS TOO SMALL
IX77117 - (AIXV42 only) RAM FILESYSTEM IS TOO SMALL
IX75268 - (AIXV43 only) BOOT RAM FILESYSTEM IS TOO SMALL

khz,
I already did the things you have posted here, I got this stuff from google search and tried it out, but nothing worked out.

Check /etc/filesystems

or try:

cd /usr/sbin
cp bosboot bosboot.ref
vi bosboot
+964 $lock_instr -k $1 $boothdr $rosemu -f $2 $norm $serv $boot_lv \
+965 $set_start $wrtblv -A ${softROS} -K ${kernel} 2>$mkbout | \
+966 dd ibs=1b obs=64b of=$outimage 2>$ddout


and modify line 965 :


+964 $lock_instr -k $1 $boothdr $rosemu -f $2 $norm $serv $boot_lv \
+965 $set_start $wrtblv -A ${softROS} 2>$mkbout | \
+966 dd ibs=1b obs=64b of=$outimage 2>$ddout


then re-run the bosboot command :


bosboot -a -d /dev/ipldevice

Thanks for the replies . I called IBM and solved the problem..need to move a file set from /usr/lib/boot/protoext to /tmp.It works fine.
