If REAR is Linux for mksysb, then DRLM is Linux for NIM.

Note that REAR can do ISO, USB, or PXE images, and can back up with tar, TSM, NetBackup, CommVault, and other.
If only it could do the same for Winders too…

Could not load program ls: Cannot run a 64-bit program until the 64-bit environment has been configured. See the system administrator.
This is because the default in 32-bit systems is to NOT load the 64-bit kernel. Just another line to override in the bosinst.data file:
So, the total list so far is:
CONTROL_FLOW stanza must be set as follows:
MKSYSB_MIGRATION_DEVICE = network INSTALL_METHOD = migrate PROMPT = no EXISTING_SYSTEM_OVERWRITE = yes RECOVER_DEVICES = no INSTALL_64BIT_KERNEL = yes
target_disk_data should have one entry for each of hdisk0 and hdisk1
target_disk_data: PVID = PHYSICAL_LOCATION = CONNECTION = LOCATION = SIZE_MB = HDISKNAME = hdisk0
