Abstract
LPAR may be unable to boot after update to AIX 7200-05-07-2346 or VIOS 3.1.4.31
Description
An update to AIX 7200-05-07-2346 or VIOS 3.1.4.31 may encounter the following bosboot/savebase errors:
bosboot: Boot image is 61489 512 byte blocks.
0301-162 bosboot: savebase failed with /dev/hdisk0.
0301-165 bosboot: WARNING! bosboot failed - do not attempt to boot device.
After encountering this bosboot failure, the next attempt to boot the system may fail.
Recommended Action
As of 1/26/2024 we have updated the AIX 7200-05-07-2346 and VIOS 3.1.4.31 Service Packs on Fix Central to include IJ49570.
Use the updated version of the SP for updates to avoid this issue.
If the system was rebooted after seeing this error and booted successfully, bosboot/savebase should now complete without error, and no further mitigation or fix for IJ49570 is needed.
If the system was rebooted after seeing this error and failed to boot, please contact IBM Support for help recovering.
Note:
For AIX LPARs configured to use Trusted Update, a special procedure is needed to apply the updated 7200-05-07-2346 Service Pack.
See the note in the AIX 7.2 Installation Tips for more info.
