    Hi there

    I am trying to install VIO server throuh HMC. I have the VIO installation media loaded on the HMC.

    I call installios from HMC command line and the installation starts once the required entries are made.

    After about 70% of installation is done. I get the below error.

    
Please mount volume 2 on /NIM_BOS_IMAGE ... and press Enter to 

continue BOS Install: Restore of Base Operating System from /NIM_BOS_IMAGE failed. ID#        OPTION 1        Continue 2        Perform System Maintenance and Then Continue Enter ID number: BOS Install: Restore of Base Operating System from /NIM_BOS_IMAGE failed.

    I've seen a version of 2.1 vio dvd that had the mksysb image split in two. Looks as though the software used to burn the dvd had a 4G file limit. We were using a nim server for installation and got around the problem using cat mksysb.1 >> mksysb
    Have you checked the dvd?
