How to take alt_disk and update at the same time in aix?



***Using the below command we can take the alt disk and perform the update on the same time.

      #alt_disk_copy -d <hdiskx> -b update_all -l <TL level path>



***To clone the running rootvg to hdisk2 & hdisk3, and execute update_all on all updates from /updates

      #alt_disk_copy -d "hdisk2 hdisk3" -b update_all -l /updates

The bootlist would then be set to boot from hdisk2 at the next reboot.
