This will create an image file in /usr/share/nim/cdimage. Mkdvd -C /usr/share/nim/cdimage/cdfs/ -I /usr/share/nim/cdimage/ -m /usr/share/nim/mksysb/my53system-mksysb -R -S Log into your nim master, and run a command such as: In my case, I prefer to use the latter of the two as I find it pretty much idiot-proof. 1) Use your nim server to do a BOS_INSTALL or 2) use mkdvd and create a bootable ISO from the mksysb image. Now as I have a pre-existing mksysb backup of the system in question, you can restore the mksysb into your new test_upgrade LPAR by a couple of different methods. Network = a shared Shared Ethernet Adapter For this I created a system with the following:ĬPU = 1CPU (using a microfraction of like 0.4) As I would rather test it out on a test system first, I set off to do that.įirst let’s setup a test_upgrade LPAR. As I only have AIX 6.1 TL6 DVD media available, and this is for an LPAR running off of a VIOS, there are a couple of steps involved.
