just setup a new system today - 9117 570, using HMC for console but not partitioned.
I installed this system twice. the first time it started off as 5300-00, then updated to ML03. before the update, I believe I mirrored the rootvg, and then altered the bootlist, at that point, the display was OK.
after I updated the ML to 03, I tried to update service boot list, that's when I noticed something weird:
display:
CURRENT BOOTLIST DEVICES FOR SERVICE MODE 802592
The following devices are listed in the order they appear
in the service mode bootlist.
hdisk0 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device
hdisk1 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device
try to alter the list:
*** WARNING ***
One or more devices in the current bootlist are
not available as IPL devices. They may not be
used when modifying the bootlist. Either ERASE
the bootlist first, or do not use these devices
in the new list.
next screen:
[FONT=Courier New]ALTER SERVICE MODE BOOTLIST DEVICES 802593
Specify the access order of the boot devices.
Indicate by placing the appropriate integer in the
bracketed [] field. (1 is first, 2 is second, etc.)
hdisk0 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device [ 1] #
hdisk1 blv=hd5 Unavailable Device [ 2] #
cd0 IDE DVD-RAM Drive [ ] #
hdisk0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
hdisk1 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
hdisk2 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
hdisk3 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive [ ] #
# bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk0 blv=hd5
hdisk1 blv=hd5
# bootlist -m service -o
hdisk0 blv=hd5
hdisk1 blv=hd5
needless to say, I reissued bosboot command, no difference, and then tried reinstall; this time, using a media that has 5300-03, and the problem is still there. This is the first 5300-03 system I have installed, previously, I have worked on 5300-02, no problem. Is this something with 5300-03? I searched google and IBM site, but no luck..
Assistance greatly appreciated!
