Error description
alt_disk_mksysb fails to convert JFS to J2 filesystems if the current rootvg has J2 filesystems only. alt_disk_mksysb verbose output looks like: [...] Source boot disk is: hdisk1 0: No mounted filesystems of type jfs. 0: No mounted filesystems of type jfs. 0: Cleaning up. 0: Successfully completed converting image.data to jfs2 0505-121 alt_disk_install: Error. [...]
Local fix
Restore the mksysb and then use alt_disk_copy for the JFS to J2 conversion. Or skip the space checking (-S) option. But ensure we have enough space for the mksysb, specially as J2 needs more space for the meta data than JFS does.
Problem summary
Failing error executing alt_disk_mksysb -T: Source boot disk is: hdisk1 0: No mounted filesystems of type jfs. 0: No mounted filesystems of type jfs. 0: Cleaning up. 0: Successfully completed converting image.data to jfs2 0505-121 alt_disk_install: Error.
Problem conclusion
The fix is to add a test in jfs2j2 check_space() function to not calculate j2 inode size requirements when using a mksysb image.
Temporary fix
