I implemented "bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0" command, but system occured error.
0301-154 bosboot: missing proto file: /usr/lib/drivers/aixapdiskpcmke

I found resloution for this error by input "exit 0" to the script of /usr/sbin/bosboot.

When I tried to receive mksysb, I met problem with under error code.

Creating tape boot image...
/dev/rmt0.1 fsf 3 failed: There is an input or output error.

0512-044 mksysb: Cannot access device /dev/rmt0.1.
tctl fsf failed with return code 2.

Are you using NIM or a tape drive? also it's confusing, you said you are using mksysb to update TL for AIX. how are you doing it using a mksysb?

try tapeutil command

1. tapeutil -f /dev/rmt0 <function>

your question is confusing.
for bosboot issue:

1. ls -al /dev/ipldevice

crw------- 2 root system 17, 0 Nov 16 14:20 /dev/ipldevice

the minor # is 0

1. ls -al /dev/rhdisk*

crw------- 2 root system 17, 0 Nov 16 14:20 /dev/rhdisk0
crw------- 1 root system 17, 1 Nov 16 14:20 /dev/rhdisk1

the minor # for rhdisk0 is 0 (sometimes the rhdisk1 might have minor # 0 ) so in that case the bootdisk's first pref is hdisk1.

issue # bootlist -m normal -o

if is hdisk0 then hdisk1 and the ipldevice minor # is 0 then bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0 or

1. bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice is good command, if minor # of ipldevice is 1 and is assigned to hdisk1 then

recreate the ipldevice by command

1. ln -f /dev/rhdisk0 /dev/ipldevice

also check if # ipl_varyon -i
gives bootable as yes to both disk
