    It may not be an operational issue with the command or o/s. It's probably
    the disk type. How is the disk(hdisk2) connected to the system? Is it over
    internal scsi, is it ssa, is it fibre? All of these factors play a role.
    Also, is the disk IBM manufactured? I don't know if the: "bootinfo -B
    hdisk#", command actually goes out and reads the disk? It may be based on
    location code, and disk FRU/type?
    Thanks.

    Disk not bootable after bosboot

    Hi,
     
    I've got a server running AIX 4.2 (I know, too old) and I want 'hdisk2' to
    be a bootable disk (hdisk2 is incorporated in rootvg and have the boot
    logical volume 'hd5' defined on it).
    I have successfully done these commands :
     
    # bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk2
    # bootlist -m normal hdisk2
     
    and to verify that hdisk2 is now bootable :
     
    # bootinfo -B hdisk2
     
    But "bootinfo -B hdisk2" returns the code "0" which means (according to
    manpage) that this
    disk is not bootable.
     
    Do you know if informations gathered by this command are not "refreshed"
    by the command 'bosboot' or if there is a mistake in my strategy ?
     
    Thanks in advance.
