    Hi Abderahim; have you tried to run "lppchk -v" to check the consistency of the filesests on your installation?.  On the other hand; what's the output for the "bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0" command?.

    Regards.
    Pablo.

    Hi Pereira

    lppchk -v don't give any missing packages. All BOS installation are good.
    It's strange that Installation was good and bosboot fails post install, and more strange the hd5 exists on rootvg, and mkszfile (on bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0) command fails :

    0301-168 bosboot: The current boot logical volume,/dev/hd5,
    

    does not exist on /dev/hdisk0


    I tried to delete hd5 and create it from SMS menu, but also have this error.
    One workaround that we found, it's to present the rootvg disk (Masking view + Zoning) from one and one path.
    Just one precision, the disk where rootvg installed are PURE Storage stretched volume if can help.

    Thanks for your help.

    Best regards
    Abderahim

    Ok, I'm not sure about this multipath driver. I haven't been working with it, but have you checked out the installation procedure for this multipath.  I mean that for several storages you must present the disks for the rootvg trhough just one path for the whole installation till you finally install the odm and the driver.  Only then you can enable the rest of the paths.  Otherwise opperations like bosboot may fail.

    Regards.
    Pablo.

    It looks like the ODM has rootvg on hdisk2.  Perhaps something like this will get the system bootable again.

    ln -f /dev/rhdisk2 /dev/ipldevice
    ln -f /dev/rhd5 /dev/ipl_blv
    bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice -l hd5
    bootlist -m normal hdisk2

    Since the zoning is not currently single-pathed, you may need to run "rmdev -l" or "rmdev -dl" on the other 7 hdisks in rootvg.
