Select Software: This option is used when more than one operating system is installed
on the same disk drive. AIX does not support multiple operating systems on a single
disk drive. Multiple AIX images can be installed on separate disk drives; the desired
disk drive can be selected for booting using the Select Boot Device function in System
Management Services or the AIX diagnostic service aid Display or Change Bootlist.
If Select Software is chosen from this menu, a line similar to the following is displayed:
–> 1
This indicates the current version of AIX that is installed on the system. If a 1 is
entered, the system will boot AIX.
If you are running on AIX and you receive the following message:
No Operating System Installed
this indicates that information in nonvolatile storage could have been lost, as would
happen if the battery had been removed. To re-create this value, run the Select Boot
Device option on this menu.
The AIX Documentation library is available at the following Web address:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/library/techpubs.html. AIX documentation is also
contained on the AIX Documentation CD. The documentation is made accessible by
loading the documentation CD onto the hard disk or by mounting the CD in the
CD-ROM drive.
