We have a POWER7 770, running dual VIOs and utilizing NPIV for all the AIX clients. When I attempt to restore an LPAR using Sysback, it always fails at the same point after successfully restoring all the data. I'm using the latest version of Sysback (6.3 with all PTFs applied). I searched Google and only thing I come up with is that the disk is not bootable. It boots fine everywhere else except during a Sysback restore. The disk is N Series FC disk. Attached is the log of the complete Sysback operation. Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Here is the part of the log showing the problem:
