Hello,
After installing on P6 which is POWERVM IVM VIOS enabled (VET CODE D21C77ACD9229817CA1F00002C10004164 )
i get this message
"I/O hosting requires a hosting partition - boot not permitted".
HMC was connected to the machine
then HMC was removed through ASMI
Searching on google found this
I/O hosting requires a hosting partition - boot not permitted
exit called ok
This happened with me when I created an AIX LPAR, but a VIO image was installed on the disk, where I wanted to boot from.
(When there is a mismatch between the LPAR type and the booting image this error will pop up....I guess.)
But doesn't mention solution,
how can one solve "mismatch between the LPAR type and the booting image"
hmm, just to make sure i understand the situation correctly:
you have (POWER6) managed system
you want to boot from an internal disk
on the disk a VIOS image is installed
On the case of 3 "yes"es: you need to install the LPAR anyway, so boot it via NIM methods (mksysb+spot). You can the select the disk to install to and this disk will be wiped first, so the VIOS image will go away. Only then (after installation) you can boot from the disk.
I hope this helps.

Googled it, and many users have similar issues and no solution is posted:
here is the solution:
1) Check the firmware
2) Check if the machine has VET VIOS POWERVM IVM key license enabled
3) HMC should be disconnected from the machine
