A.When using a mksysb to clone a system that has had device driver updates applied, the target system does not need to be updated with device driver Updates to match the source systems level, as the mksysb will have the needed drivers.
B.CHRP architecture systems cloned form non-CHRP architecture systems with Updates applied may fail to boot due to incompatibilities between the updated kernel in the mksysb image and the base level devices.chrp.base.rte fileset installed during the cloning process.
C.If the source and target system kernels are different (for example, rs6k and rspc), one MUST boot from CD-ROM installation media, at the same operating system level as the mksysb being restored.
D.The RECOVER_DEVCIES option allows the choice to recover the customized ODM attributes from the mksysb(for example, network addressing, static routes, tty settings, and multi-port adapter cards). The target devices must be in The same location as the source machine, or the install will fail and the device wil not be defined.
