Hello guys,

I am facing a strange issue while restoring mksysb onto one of AIX lpars through NIM server. The lpar boots well into SMS , communicate well to NIM server and then got mksysb image successfully.

However it then just hangs into 0c45 and never moves forward.

I used same spot and mksysb image from same NIM server to pass through 0c45 LED for at least two new Lpars on same physical server without any issues.

Any ideas how i can resolve this 0c45 issue ? I believe that this is somehow related to defining system console , but i am not able to find any configuration done on Lpar profile related to system console ?

Does it relates to message which appears on console when Lpar is activated for first time " press 0 to define this console as system console"
I am curious about this message as this Lpar profile is created by some other person and i am just wondering that if you dont press 0 then it might cause 0C45 issue? Any ideas?

Hello

Lookup the bosinst.data used for the nim operation
Example of issue

Performing a mksysb migration with NIM installation boots
the system and hangs at LED 0c45.

Recommend customer the following verification steps be
performed:

In the bosinst.data file:
control_flow:
CONSOLE = /dev/tty0

should be changed to:
control_flow:
CONSOLE = /dev/vty0
