 Why to link both /unix /usr/lib/boot/unix to files in /usr/lib/boot/unix_XX I have seen that in AIX whenever you have to change kernel like from 32 to 64 bit then its required to do #ln -s /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /usr/lib/boot/unix #ls -s /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /unix #bosboot -ad hdisk0 Why its required to link both /unix and /usr/lib/boot/unix? Why not just /unix. On my system I just linked /unix and everything seemed to be working fine. Can anyone explain why we need to link both /unix and /usr/lib/boot/unix      |
