Re: Mksysb failed

I just installed ssh for AIX 5.1 and I've rebooted the server.

I looked at a similar server I have, and there I had the ssh image in
/usr/lib/boot what I did is i copied it to the server that don't had it
because there ssh is working fine.

Am I doing wrong?

By the way I'm installing ML04 in this server, that's why I was backing it
up.

Regards,
Gustavo.-

/usr/lib/boot/ssh is a small runtime environment that is called during
bootup time, so it is needed to create a bootable mksysb tape. The
bos.rte.boot fileset contains the file, so I would run "lslppp -f
bos.rte.boot " and make sure that all the files listed are actually on your
system. If they are not, then you will need to install them.

PS. Did you install a maintenance level or fixes that require a reboot, but
have not rebooted yet?

Thanks,

Hi!

I'm doing a mksysb and get this:

                                                       COMMAND STATUS

Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

Creating information file (/image.data) for rootvg.......

Creating tape boot image.
0301-154 bosboot: missing proto file: /usr/lib/boot/ssh

0512-016 mksysb: Attempt to create a bootable tape failed:
        bosboot -d /dev/rmt0.1 -a failed with return code 41.

Do you know what can be happening?
