    5.  Modify an existing Shared Resource Tree.
    6.  Delete an existing Shared Resource Tree.

The error is because you cannot create an SRT at an OS version higher than that of the Boot Server itself.

The SRT you are trying to create is OS version 6.1.6.1, while the Boot Server OS is 6.1.4.7. This TECH article explains the environment:

Requirements for Bare Metal Restore (BMR) Boot Servers 
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH87607

The salient information in there is:

  • The Maintenance/Update level (kernel version) of the Boot Server must also be at the highest level for any client it supports.  The kernel version also sets the highest level of Shared Resource Tree (SRT) that can be created on the given Boot Server.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

Where is the AIX install image?

You accepted the default /dev/cd0 path.
Is the AIX OS install cd mounted on that path?

Have you checked that the OS installation files can be accessed on this path?

AIX image on AIX OS install CD.

I accept the default /dev/cd0 and  I was not mount AIX OS install cd on that path as it automatically mount while accepting default /dev/cd0.

Yes, OS installation files can be accessed on this path.

Is there any AIX OS version dependancy problem?
