Hi all,
Does anyone has any experience in installing 6C4 via nim with AIX520-01?
I has been a frustrating 3 days, and it still failed. The the /tftpboot contains directory listing;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 8093236 Oct 23 10:49 aix520_spot.chrp.mp.ent
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 36 Nov 06 11:34 mla0042 -> /tftpboot/aix520_spot.chrp.mp.ent
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1149 Nov 06 11:34 mla0042.info
The /etc/tftpboot entry;
mla0042:bf=/tftpboot/mla0042:ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:ht=ethernet:sa=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:gw=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:sm=255.255.255.224:
The resources directories are exported, and resources are allocated.
It seems to hung at this screen; (the led display shows 608) The tftpboot log shows that the boot file transfer was successfull.
Pleaseeeeee help.
