    When I installed AIX V6.1 on pSeries 630, it could't boot from cdrom(I had pressed 5 or F5 to boot from cdrom). I did't know why? Can pSeries 630 support AIX V6.1? Or can AIX V6.1 install on pSeries 630?

    Thank you for your help!

    One reason your machine is not booting from the cdrom is that it may not be in the "boot list". To see what's currently in the bootlist:

    1. bootlist –m normal –o

    If you don't see "cd0" (cdrom), you can add it to the boot list with this command:

    1. bootlist –m normal –o cd0 hdisk0

    and then reboot.

    Yes, your p630 is capable of running AIX 6.1 because it uses the POWER4+ cpu.

    Hope this helps.

When I downloaded AIX V6.1 and burned it to CD, I just can't boot from the cdrom.(maybe the CD is wrong, but I try to burn another 2 new CD, and it still can't boot from CD). I don't know why? If I want to install AIX V6.1 on pSeries 630, should I upgrade firmware(microcode) of pSeries 630?

    Thanks.
