I have a p630 with two partitions, it has 2 internal drives and 9 drives
in an i/o drawer. The first partition boots of the internal drives
(mirrored rootvg) and the 2nd partition boots of a drive from the i/o
drawer. I am trying to upgrade the 2nd partition to AIX 5.2 from the
base CD but after going through the process of selecting the first boot
device and to the point where it ask whether I am doing a migration or
new install that will completely write over the disk it shows only the 2
internal disk (which partition 1 uses) but not the disk that partition 2
is booting up from (i/o drawer). This is where I am stuck, if I allow
it to proceed with the options I am afraid it will overwrite the boot
disk for partition 1. Is there something I am not doing to allow me to
see the other drives i.e the drive in the i/o drawer to allow me to
perform the upgrade?
And I am using the Complete Partitioning Guide for pseries servers red
book which helps in getting to the point where I am at but not beyond.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
