vioserver hangs when running installios

permalink

After running a backup of a vioserver to my nimserver (via the backupios -file command) and then running a installios logged in as hscroot on my hmc, it causes the vioserver I'm attempting to restore to shutdown straight away.

Anyone seen this happen before? Seems kind of odd..

<snip>
Would you like to configure the client's network after the
installation [yes]/no? no
Retrieving information for available network adapters
This will take several minutes...

Broadcast message from root@vioserver2 (tty) at 10:28:12 ...
rc.powerfail: init has received a SIGPWR signal.
The system powered off manually. System will shut down
immediately. Execute rc.powerfail -h as the root user
for more information. ^G^G^G^G

Edit: Just tried it on the other vioserver, same deal. Network/DLPAR issue perhaps?
Double Edit: Looks as though user error. I shutdown vioserver2 then ran the installios command, seems ok (which makes sense, you wouldn't be restoring an online/active vio from the hmc). No harm done.
