Default Problems gettin into maintenance mode to set padmin pw

Hi all

Have any of You tried this before ??

Yesterday, I had to boot my vio server into maintenance mode to set the
padmin password (for some reason it has been changed, og is locked,
without my experience.... :-( )
I allocated a spot via my nim server (a spot from the same vio server),
I booted into sms menu
Choosed to boot from the network
I Selectd Access this Volume Group and start a shell

But then I got the problem.
I only had access to /, I was in the OK prompt, and had no access to
/usr to be able to write the command passwd padmin...........
I got the message: /usr/lob/boot/getrootfs: no such file or dir....

I don't get the chance og selecting the disk that I like to boot up

hmmmmmm.....

What on earth i going on ???

When I boot the vio server up, normally, it starts ok, and all my lpars
also starts ok.....but in maintenance mode - nope......


Can anyone please help me ???


Thanks,


Gitte
