Hi Lawrence,
 
Does /tmp have enough free space to hold the boot image?
Does a bosboot -a give the same results?
Is the rootvg mirrored? Any stale partitions then?

Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards,
Richard van Denzel.

Hi;
  I'm trying to install TSM 5.3.0.0 on 2 new p550 9113 machines to
replace our current machines.
  I have AIX 5.3.2 installed.
  I tried to install TSM, and got the following. I talked to IBM, and
they said they thought it might be a problem with TSM, but I don't see
how.
They are suggesting I reinstall AIX, and try again. Does anyone have any
ideas what might cause this, and whey does the TSM install do a bosboot?
