    I'm trying to migrate AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1.6 from NIM by bos_inst rte method, the install is going well until the end when i have this message : cannot create boot image
    >> continue
    >> or Maintenance Mode

    if I continue, i cannot boot after >> NO OS IMAGE

    I also tried to migrate by nimadm before , and at the last phase , i have almost the same message

    any idea ?

    Thanks.

    Can you tell us what you're using for a boot device (details, please) ? That might be a good start.
