Hello All, I'm building a new lpar on a p650/5300-04 using nim. All goes well untill the reboot, the lpar gives an error code : 00c9 CDT:BOS 00c9 CDT:VMM .....and then goes into a loop rebooting itself. Has anyone come across this before ?? cheers Benno ...it really does get worse than this !!

Hello All, I would like to tell when a bosboot is required before installing a fileset. I know that performing a 'prev' does not tell you and I know that the information is in the .toc file but not quite sure where. When I view a .toc file all the filesets have some flags, ie : U b B (etc)...
