Re[2]: Install VIOS on specific Disk unit

Yep, fingers are many miles away....

As to smoking the drives, we can clear them all, the point is a clean install.

I'm lazy and take the one I don't want to smoke out of the frame. :-)

But then I'm guessing your fingers are not in the same room as your drives... ;-)

Folks: (vios 3.1.3.21)

I need to reload the VIOS from scratch (reasons beyond discussing here) with internal disk units. We have a pair mirrored, and I'll break the mirroring in the same way we do to use the upgradeios command creating an empty drive. How do I force the new installation on to that drive? upgradeios has a disk unit parameter to use, but I don't see one in the installios command.

So either I need to clear both drives (acceptable) or force the installation onto the blank drive. Thoughts?
