ITEM: CG2516L

Hanging on led 911 when booting from a sysback tape.

Env:
  AIX 4.1.4
  RISC J40 (client)  F30 (server)
  sysback 3.3.3.4

Desc:
  Customer creates a full system backup on the F30 using sysback, to
  create a boot image for a rs6ksmp system.  He then boots the 
  J40 from this image.  It goes to these leds  243 299 911
  
Action:
  The 911 means the boot image was not correct, that the user
  was using either a corrputed boot image or a boot image for the
  wrong type of kernal (example booting a up kernal on a mp system).
  The customer stated he installed all of the device filesets,
  rebooted the server (F30), and built the image for a rs6ksmp image
  using sysback.  I had the customer check for this file
  /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp on the server.  The customer did not have this 
  file on the F30 system.  You will need to install
  bos.rte.mp to get this file on the server.  The boot image was being 
  created for a up kernal not a mp without this fileset installed.

Next Action:
  Closing with customr approval
