    Hello.

    On a Power6 server ( 8203-E4A ), I want to test an AIX migration from 5.3 to 7.1.

    I have 2 SAN disks attached to the server (no LPAR).

    The server with 5.3 version works well, and reboots are OK.

    I made the migration with an alt_disk command from my nim server, which seems to finish OK ( nimadm -c myserver -s 7100_04_02_spot -l 7100_04_02_lpp -d "hdisk6" -Y ).

    After the end of the migration, I tried to restart the server (the bootlist is OK to boot on the new version of AIX - 7.1). But it never starts, it stays at this point with LED code 0554 :

    In the menu, if I choose the 5.3 AIX version disk, the servers starts well ...
