    Try:

    # mkboot -c hdiskx

    If that doesn't work verify the checksum with the: "sum" command against
    the:
    "/etc/bosboot.sum" file and the: "/unix" file/directory, to see if the
    checksum/numbers
    match up exactly.

    Thanks,.

    unmirrorvg & bosboot problem






    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!
