• Unattended installation
An unattended installation enables a user to install HDLM without entering

of HDLM, see Performing an Unattended Installation of HDLM on page

Performing an Upgrade Installation or Re-installation of HDLM on page
3-38 .
By using the alt_disk_copy or nim command of AIX, you can replicate
the running system (clone) on an alternate disk, and then perform an
upgrade installation or re-installation of HDLM in AIX on the alternate
disk. The hdisk where the replication is created is called an alternate disk.
• Installation in a multibos environment
By using the AIX multibos command, you can perform an upgrade
installation of HDLM when a standby BOS is created or on an already
created standby BOS.
In addition to installing HDLM on a typical host, you can install it in the
following environments:
• Boot disk
• You can install HDLM on a virtual I/O server.
A virtual I/O server is a system that enables multiple client logical
partitions to share one resource.
