Thanks for this useful tips!
I have a question: is there a way to find if MULTIBOOT parameter is ON or OFF without powering off lpar?
I discovered that the parameter was ON when I powered off the partition but what about other lpars? If yes, how can I modify it?
Thanks in advance=)

No, this can't be viewed or modified from the AIX command line.

Thanks Chris for all the useful stuff in your blogs. It has saved me a lot of hours searching on the net. In this case it was indeed the multiboot parameter.

Thanks for your comment mfaisald. Yes, an incorrect boot list can cause this type of issue. If multiboot is ON, then your LPAR will always boot into SMS, regardless of your AIX boot list and/or LPAR profile settings. Cheers. Chris

Thanks for the useful info Chris. I once came across this problem and it was my bootlist showing wrong device in there. Changed it back to bootable device, hdisk0 in my case, and it worked. bootlist -m normal hdisk0
