    Hello,

    I wanted to see if you could help me find information related to the following error when executing the following nimadm command.

    nimadm -j nimadmvg -c lparaix -s spot720507 -l lpp720507 -d hdisk277 -Y

    +---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------+
    Executing nimadm phase 11.

    Cloning altinst_rootvg on client, Phase 3.
    Client alt_disk_install command: alt_disk_copy -j -M 7.2 -P3 -d "hdisk277"
    ## Phase 3 ###################
    Verifying altinst_rootvg...

    alt_disk_copy: 0505-219 ATTENTION: Error copying rootvg to alternate disk.
    Cleaning up.

    I am trying to migrate a client from AIX 7.1 to AIX 7.2 TL 05 SP7, it should be noted that the Nim Master server is on AIX 7.3 TL 02 SP1

    Thank you so much.

    Hi Victor,

    this issue may be due to a known defect : NIMADM OVER NIMSH FAILS AT PHASE 11 WITH 4K TARGET DISK

    APARs - IV98353 IV98364 IV98366 IJ01446; https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IV98353

    - see  in section Local fix =>  Execute nimadm over shell instead of nimsh

    Regards, Tadek
