NIM installation from mksysb image

[Andy]

Hello,
I did backup of AIX 5.2 (running on 7044-170) with command "mksysb -i -e -X".
I tried to install the image on F50 and on p670 LPAR - both tries unsuccess.

In both cases the errors I get after the long stay in status:

info = BOS install 83% complete : Over mounting /.



were (errors in loop):

Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.
Could not load program /usr/bin/sh:
Symbol resolution failed for /usr/ccs/lib/libc.a(shr.o) because:
Symbol _sigqueue (number 171) is not exported from dependent
module /unix.
Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.
Could not load program /usr/bin/sh:
Symbol resolution failed for /usr/ccs/lib/libc.a(shr.o) because:

Could not load program /usr/bin/sh:

Can anyone help to solve the problem?

What should I do to complete NIM installation of the mksysb image successfuly?

Are any drivers are missed in the image?


a lot of thanks in advance,
Andy.

Have you created the spot from a 5.2 lppsource ? I presume you have
the correct platform and netboot_kernel defined for the p670 and F50
(I guess so as the machines have booted from the tftpboot file) What
are the outputs of:
lsnim -l <host>
nim -o fix_query <spot> | grep ML
nim -o fix_query -a fix_queryflags=c <spot>| grep ":-:"

Where <host> is the hostname of the F50 and p670
Where <spot> is the name of the spot allocated to the <host>s.

You are definetly missing a package in your lpp source that you have
created your spot from. We had the same problem, and what we did to fix this
was to make sure that the lpp_source had at least as up to date, if not newer
packages than the mksysb. Then we created a new spot, and the install
worked correctly.
