AIX Version 4.3 Differences Guide

• Path name of mksysb image in a file system.
Note: -d and -C are mutually exclusive.
-C Clone rootvg.
Note: -d and -C are mutually exclusive.
-i image.data
Optional image.data file to use instead of default image.data from
mksysb image or image.data created from rootvg. The image.date file
name must be a full path name. For example, /tmp/my_image.data.
-s script Optional customization script to run at the end of the mksysb install or
the rootvg clone. This file must be executable. This script is called on
the running system before the /alt_inst file systems are unmounted, so
files can be copied from the running system to the /alt_inst file
systems before the reboot. This is the only opportunity to copy or
modify files in the alternate file system because the logical volume
names will be changed to match rootvg's, and they will not be
accessible until the system is rebooted with the new alternate rootvg.
You must use a full path name for script.
-R resolv_conf
Specifies the path name of the resolv.conf file you want to replace the
existing one after the mksysb has been restored, or the rootvg has
been cloned. You must use a full path name for resolv_conf.
-D Turn on debug (set -x output).
-V Turn on verbose output. This will show the files that are being backed
up for rootvg clones. This flag will show files that are restored for
mksysb alt_disk_installs.
-B Specifies not running bootlist after the mksysb or clone. If set, then the
-r flag cannot be used.
-r Specifies to reboot from the new disk when the alt_disk_install
command is complete.
-p platform
This is the platform to use to create the name of the disk boot image.
The default value is the platform of the running system obtained with
the bootinfo -T command on 4.1 or the bootinfo -p command in 4.2.
This flag is only valid for mksysb installs (-d flag).
-L mksysb_level
This level is combined with the platform type to create the name of the
boot image to use (IE rspc_4.3.0_boot). This must be in the form
V.R.M. The default is 4.3.0. The mksysb image is checked against this
level to verify that they are the same.
The following flags are only valid for use when cloning the rootvg (-C):
-b bundle_name
Path name of optional file with a list of packages, or filesets, that will
be installed after a rootvg clone. The -l flag must be used with this
option.
-I installp_flags
The flags to use when updating, or installing, new filesets into the
