Change logical volume attributes or specify a logical volume to be ignored on
restore.
These customization options can also be preconfigured and passed to an

20.2.3 Network boot

SysBack provides network boot capabilities to facilitate the installation of a
machine or partition that does not have a locally attached bootable removable
media device, such as a tape or CD/DVD device.
After a machine or partition has been successfully network booted, you can
reinstall the system through a supported media device located on another
machine or partition.
SysBack provides the ability to boot a machine or partition from another system
of the same, or different, architecture. For example, a Common Hardware
Reference Platform (CHRP) system can boot from an RSPC system. However, it
should be noted that there are additional configuration tasks required for
cross-architecture booting.
Note: AIX 5L Version 5.2 no longer supports the MCA or RSPC architectures.
There are two types of SysBack network boots:
Classic network boot
NIM resource network boot
