Step 6. Finishing the BOS installation

Edit online

Follow this procedure for finishing the BOS installation.

  1. The Installing Base Operating System window displays the status of your installation.

    After the base run-time environment is installed, status information displays about other software that is being installed.

  2. The system automatically reboots.
  3. After the system has restarted, you are prompted to configure your installation. For information on configuring your system after a BOS installation process, refer to Configuring AIX.
Note: If the system being installed has 4 GB or more of memory and you have performed an overwrite installation, then a dedicated dump device is created for you. If so, the device name is /dev/lg_dumplv, and its size is based on the following formula: 
4>=  RAM < 12       size of dump device= 1 GB
12>= RAM < 24       size of dump device= 2 GB
24>= RAM < 48       size of dump device= 3 GB
     RAM >= 48      size of dump device= 4 GB
