Hi there,

is there any way to create a bootable tape from one AIX (is out of
reach) to another so that one could create the tape and if needed drive
around to the remote machine, put it in, and restore the machine booting
from the tape?

I know there is a way to redirect the output from mksysb to a remote
machine but forgot the syntax.

What about directing your mksysb back to a NIM server, then I think
you can make a bootable table, or, install your mksysb via the NIM. I
don't remember all the particulars.

Up to now I have not implemented NIM - too less servers ;-) Anyway, I've
(re-)found the FAQ with the description of a rmksysb script.

Thanks,

These are not the scripts I actual use but close enough. For your
purpose you may have to modify the script of Henk van Doorn.
