First step, create a new disk on storage and assign it to AIX LPAR
On the LPAR, rescan to find the new disk
[root@aixlpar1]/root # cfgmgr [root@aixlpar1]/root # lspv hdisk4 00fa343cec7cc5e8 rootvg active hdisk5 none None
Now mount the NFS share where are located mksysb:
[root@aixlpar1]/root # mount nimsrv:/export/mksysb /mnt [root@aixlpar1]/root # ls -l /mnt/*aixlpar1* -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 5787961095 Apr 26 04:38 aixlpar1.mksysb [root@aixlpar1]/root # alt_disk_install -d '/mnt/aixlpar1.mksysb' -P'all' hdisk5
Now reboot on the new disk image:
[root@aixlpar1]/root # shutdown -Fr
After reboot:
[root@aixlpar1]/root # lspv hdisk4 00fa343cec7cc5e8 old_rootvg hdisk5 00f732c3ff4939d6 rootvg active
