Re: Boot disk problem after migratepv

'ipl_varyon -I' will also show your bootable devices. It comes in handy
occasionally.

bootlist -m normal -o will display the bootlist. Have you checked the
manpage for migratepv to see if there's anything useful there?

Hi,

It looks like it wants a boot disk... makes me wonder if you do a
'bootlist
-m normal hdisk0' and then try the bosboot command again if it'll
work.
Maybe the bootlist is somehow empty?

I've tried that too:

bootinfo partition nmbr = 1

Is there any way to see if the bootlist is not empty?
