By using the alt_disk_copy or nim command of AIX, you can replicate
the running system (clone) on an alternate disk, and then perform an
upgrade installation or re-installation of HDLM in AIX on the alternate
disk. The hdisk where the replication is created is called an alternate disk.

following environments:

A virtual I/O server is a system that enables multiple client logical
