Error description
After NIMADM we don't see oslevel information on the disks in SMS menus For example when we migrated from 5.3 to 6.1 we saw in SMS as follows: Select Device Device Current Device Number Position Name 1. - SCSI 146814 MB Harddisk, part=2 (AIX 5.3.0) ( loc=U789F.001.AAA6051-P1-T9-L5-L0 ) 2. 1 SCSI 146814 MB Harddisk, part=2 () ( loc=U789F.001.AAA6051-P1-T9-L8-L0 ) No level information for loc=U789F.001.AAA6051-P1-T9-L8-L0
Local fix
After the migration run bosboot.
