I have a standard template I deploy for each of my AIX servers. It's in a mksysb format which I pulled via the nim server after I originally set it up.
I'm trying to restore this mksysb over the wire to a remote system. The remote system is an lpar running under vio (no HMC attached). The disk structure is a disk pool of which I've pulled xG from the pool for this lpar.
The problem I'm running into is the SMS menu doesn't recognize the virtual disk. Therefore, when I try to boot from the network, the mksysb comes back and tells me there are no disks to restore to. The only way I have been able to see the virtual disk is when booting/installing from CD.
How can I get the lpar(s)/SMS to see the virtual disk to perform a restore of a mksysb?
