Error description

  • After NIMADM we don't see oslevel information on the
    disks
    in SMS menus
    For example when we migrated from 5.3 to 6.1 we saw in
    SMS
    as follows:
    Select Device
    Device  Current   Device
    Number  Position   Name
    1.        -     SCSI 146814 MB Harddisk, part=2 (AIX
    5.3.0)
                    ( loc=U789F.001.AAA6051-P1-T9-L5-L0 )
    2.        1     SCSI 146814 MB Harddisk, part=2 ()
                    ( loc=U789F.001.AAA6051-P1-T9-L8-L0 )
    
    No level information for
    loc=U789F.001.AAA6051-P1-T9-L8-L0
    

Local fix

  • After the migration run bosboot.
    

Problem summary

  • No oslevel information in SMS boot menu when trying to
    determine which disk to boot.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Prepend appropriate bootinfo.txt file to boot image via dd
    command during NIMADM and alt_disk_install installations.
    

Temporary fix
