   cp: /usr/lpp/sysback/boot/sysinit: No such file or directory            
   cp: /usr/lpp/sysback/inst/sysmain: No such file or directory            
   chmod: /etc/sysmain: No such file or directory                          
   chmod: /etc/sysinit: No such file or directory                          
   /sbin/rc.boot[300]: /etc/sysinit: not found   

Action:
  I checked to make sure those files exist on the
  server system which they did.  I then noticed that the customer 
  has a /usr/lpp/sysback filesystem.  This is our problem.
  When sysback boots over the network, it will nfs mount
  /usr to the client, so the sysback programs in 
  /usr/lpp/sysback are not part of this nfs mount like 
  the sysback program expect.  I had the customer do this
  remount this filesystem to /temp.  I then copied all of
  the main sysback binaries over to /usr/lpp/sysback.
  I then had the customer change the mount point to something
  other than /usr/lpp/sysback.  This corrected the problem

Next Action:
  Closing with customer approval
