I have AIX 5.3.2 installed. I tried to install TSM, and got the following. I talked to IBM, and they said they thought it might be a problem with TSM, but I don't see how. They are suggesting I reinstall AIX, and try again. Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this, and whey does the TSM install do a bosboot?
