1) Convert the mksysb image to a bootable dvd using mkdvd command
2) Create a virtual media repository in VIO server
3) Copy/SCP/FTP the dvd file to vio server and add the dvd image into the repository
4) Create a Virtual DVD and load the images
5) Assign that optical device to the new LPAR
6) Make the optical device as first boot
7) Start OS install
From any LPAR,... (having mksysb)... make sure / FS (root FS) has atleast 1.5 times the size of mksysb

we will use rootvg to create the repository, as it has lot of space

>>> Choice [1]:
Installation will Start...., After 46% of installation it will ask for 2nd DVD.... Since we have 2 images..
Like > Please remove volume 1, insert volume 2, and press the ENTER key.
Go to VIO server:
============
$ unloadopt -vtd vtopt0
$ loadopt -disk cd_image_9764974.vol2 -vtd vtopt0
After loading, Check the same in lsmap output..
Go back to Installation screen and hit Enter..
After installtion gets completed, server will be rebooted automatically by setting hdisk as first boot device...
you can login as your id... or if you know the root passwd for the mksysb.
If root passwd is not available, unload the second DVD and put the first DVD.... then go to maintancence mode and reset the passwd.
$ unloadopt -vtd vtopt0
$ loadopt -disk cd_image_9764974.vol1 -vtd vtopt0
Go to HMC session... as hscroot
$ chsysstate -r lpar -m P59XXD1_SNXXXXB4 -n Client1 -o on -f Client1_normal -b sms
Change the boot order.... set the CD as 1st boot device and continue with installation.. choose 3 for "system maintanence and recovery"
There you can reset the root passwd.
