How to clone a 43p to a C20 using sysback
*ACTION TAKEN:
CLONING A 43p TO A C20
-------------------------
Install these filesets on your 43p, reboot it and build
the full-system backup tape. Either use smitty or from
the command type line:
sysback -f /dev/rmt\# -T rs6k -k up

LED 000 -- bootinfo -B command failed
This command will usually fail due to missing device drivers
to support the client's hardware from the boot image.
When booting from a tape drive, the problem usually is caused
from missing scsi support. When booting over the network from
a network boot image, it is missing device support for either
the token-ring, ethernet or FDDI adapter. You will need to
install the approriate device support on the server system
reboot the server and remake the tape or network boot image.
LED 609 -- Failed to tftp the file /tftp/\.sbinfo file
from the server system during a network boot.
1. The \.sbinfo does not have read permissions for other
2. The file does not exist
3. On a pci based system, you cannot use the leading zero's
for any of the ipaddress in the sms menu. Even though the
first tftp works the second one run will fail.
Try readding the client again
smitty sb_cfgnetboot
rebuild the boot images
smitty sb_cfgbootclient
readd your client, make sure all the values are correct.
the values are correct.
LED 610 -- Hanging on the nfs mount of /usr from the server during a network
boot.
The /etc/exports file does not have permissions for the client
to mount /usr
To verify this type exportfs
Example of output
/usr -ro,root=gonzo.aix.dfw.ibm.com
smitty sb_cfgbootclient
readd your client, make sure all the values are correct.
Make sure the servers IPaddress is correct for the type of
network interface being use. Make sure you have the correct
Gateway and subnet mask for the client as well.
LED 611 -- Failed to nfs mount /usr during a network boot from the server.
It can mean that /usr was not exported to the client
correctly. Run a exportfs command on the server to verify
this is correct. See LED 610
Known bug at AIX 4.1.4 that will effect NIM as well as sysback.
Fixed with APAR: IX54851 or Filesets:
bos.adt.prof 4.1.4.5
bos.rte.libc 4.1.4.5
bos.net.nfs.client 4.1.4.4
bos.sysmgt.quota 4.1.3.1
bos.net.tcp.client 4.1.4.4
Install the software
Once the software has installed without errors reboot the server.
You will need to remake the network boot image on the server
from the sysback menu again. Reboot your client and try the process
again.
LED 511 then BLANK -- Failure on the cfgcon command
This will occur, because of missing device support
for either the graphic adapter or standard I/O slot for
ascii monitors. You will need to install the
approriate device support on the server system
reboot the server and remake the tape or network boot
image.
LED 622 then BLANK -- Failure on the cfgcon command
See LED 511
LED 0xb05 (backwards C05) -- Failure on the cfgcon command
See LED 511
LED 666 -- Failed in phase 2 of cfgmgr -p2 -v
This is caused during a network boot from the server where
/usr has been exported without 'root' permissions.
How to correct led 666 hang
----------------------------
cd /etc
vi exports
CHANGE:
-------
/usr -ro,root=node1,node2:access=node3,node4
TO:
---
/usr -ro,root=node1,node2,node3,node4
exportfs -u
exportfs -a
exportfs (verify the change took place)
