    I need to install a mksysb image done on system where rootvg is mirrored to the system where is only one disks and I don't need mirroring on roovg.

    I did restore bosinst.data from the image, removed hdisk1 stanza and left only hdisk0 stanza in it. Next, I'd created NIM resource (bosinst.data) including customized bosinst.data.

    As i had never done beofre such installation (from mirrored to non-mirrored) I would like to ask if it is even possible. Is it?

    At the moment when I try to install the mksysb on single disk system I get error:
    • BEGIN<hr />
    Approximate Elapsed time
    % tasks complete (in minutes)
    0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request.
    There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes
    to keep strictness and satisfy allocation requests. The command
    should be retried with different allocation characteristics.
    0516-822 mklv: Unable to create logical volume.
    BOS Install: Could not create the hd5 logical volume.
    ID# OPTION
    1 Continue
    2 Perform System Maintenance and Then Continue
    Enter ID number:
    <hr />
    END<hr />
    Thank you very much for any hint.

    hi grukrz1,
    I'm not sure if I understand well what you're asking for... anyway, what is the source rootvg's QUORUM status?

    I probably found the solution.

    i will customize image data and disable mirroring for all LVs (#PP=#LP, COPIES=1)
