Solved: bosboot error: 0516-602 lslv: Logical volume name not entered.

Today in this article, we will see one of the common error message and its solution.

I had encountered an error from a system not wanting to run bosboot as VXDMP had locked the disks down.

The adjustment we need to make is to add -l hd5 to bosboot.
