The two additional commands that an AIX V7.2 administrator should run after mirroring the rootvg with the mirrorvg command are 'bosboot' and 'bootlist'. The bosboot command is used to update the boot image on all disks in the volume group, and the bootlist command is used to set the boot order for the system. These commands are available on IBM AIX v7 systems and are documented in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide. For more information, please see the IBM documentation at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.cmds3/bosboot.htm  and https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.cmds3/bootlist.htm.

When using the connect=shell option, a successful NIM operation requires that the root user on the NIM client has an entry in its .rhosts file for the NIM master, and that the file permissions are set to 600. This is documented in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide. More information on this can be found at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.security/nim_security.htm.

Thevtmenucommand in an HMC SSH session is used to display a menu of all managed systems and their LPARs. This menu provides options to open virtual terminal sessions to these LPARs, making it easy for administrators to monitor the boot process and manage their AIX partitions. Other commands likemkvtermopen a console for a specific partition, butvtmenuis designed to list all and provide an interface for selection.References: IBM HMC Documentation

In AIX, error entries related to a system crash are preserved by writing them to Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). These entries are processed and logged to the system error log when the system comes back up. This ensures that critical error information is not lost during a system crash.References:= IBM AIX Documentation
