    I was able to unmirrorvg rootvg in preparation of doing an alternate
    disk install to ML 05 from AIX 5.2 ML04 and the unmirrorvg was
    successful. I did perform a chpv -c hd5 and then a bosboot -a but I
    receive the following...

     

    bosboot: Boot image is 19728 512 byte blocks.

     

    0301-162 bosboot: savebase failed with /dev/hdisk0.

     

    0301-165 bosboot: WARNING! bosboot failed - do not attempt to boot
    device.

     

    What did I do wrong (the chpv -c hd5 command)?

     

    What do I need to do to fix it?

     

    Please help!
