redirect to hark-disk boot after the installation finished. - papertigerv5 - 2014-03-14 04:03

I use the pxe and kickstart to install AIX OS automatically. And here i got a problem, hope somebody could help me out or give me a hint.

After finishing OS installation, the server still boot from network, and loop the installation infinite loop.

Is there any hint to prevent such situation without changing boot order manually ?

Have your pxe bootmenu boot local harddrive as default. If/when install, you choose "install".
Or something like that...

Were you able to find the right solution..I have been facing similar boot issue so can you provide some information?

Torgeir just explained it - tell it to boot from network first, and local boot second, and then make the default behavior of the network boot be just a simple exit after a timeout, with option to do something else.
