Hi,

I try to clone a machine (P55) to new one
I did a mksysb on DVD
When I boot to install I have the following message:
0516-404 allocp: Not enough resources available to fulfill allocation.
Either not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes to keep
strictness. Try again with different allocation characteristics.

What I have to do ?

Thanks in advance

if you made the mksysb from a mirrored system, you need two disks to
perform the restore.

you do not get that message when you first boot (unless there was a
PROMPT=NO in the bosinst.data file on the server that you took the
mksysb from) you get that error just after you tell it to beginthe
install.
I know I got this yeasterday --- The problem is caused by taking a
mksysb from a system that is mirrored and then giving the mksysb
target server only 1 disk to install on. After you boot from the DVD
and before you begin the install you should be able to change what
disk you install to --- select 2 disks OR break the mirror on the
system that the mysysb came from and create the mksysb again --- or
Calll AIX support and ask them how to edit an image.data file and
place it on a diskette to use duringthe restore

hope that this helps
