Customizing and using the bosinst.data file
You must install the BOS before you can access and modify the default bosinst.data file.
You can also edit the bosinst.data file like any other ASCII file.
For information about the contents of the file and examples of edited files, see The bosinst.data file.
Note: If you are customizing the /bosinst.data file so that it becomes part of
a system backup (mksysb), the mksysb command always updates the target_disk_data stanzas to
reflect the current disks in the rootvg. If you do not want this update to occur, you must
create the file /save_bosinst.data_file. The existence of this file is checked
by the mksysb command, before the target_disk_data stanzas are
updated.
