Netboot

Use the netboot task to network boot an AIX®, Linux®, or an IBM® i partition on your managed system that is in the Not Activated state.

The Network boot wizard guides you through the steps of installing the operating system on the partition and then activating the partition. Select a partition profile to install the operating system on the partition. Click Next to configure the network settings for the logical partition.

Note: For Virtual I/O Server, you must choose the Install option from the Actions menu to install the VIOS on your managed system that is in the Not Activated state.
