I have WS Message Broker version 6.0.0.1 installed on AIX server, and it is

before doing that they ran the command "lppchk -v" to check files consistency, and they got this:

server>lppchk -v
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:
mqsi60 6.0.0.1 (COMMITTED)
… (total 19 files)
mqsi60.tsf 6.0.0.1 (COMMITTED)

In order to find out what's wrong I ran the command below, but got ".toc" issues:

(list all duplicate and conflicting updates )

1. lppmgr -d /myimages -u
   
   1. I'm logging as root.

ibmlabp2>/usr/lib/instl/lppmgr -d /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0/ -u
lppmgr: Source table of contents location is /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0//.toc
lppmgr: Building table of contents in /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0/ ..
sh: /bin/rm: not found
lppmgr: Building table of contents completed.
lppmgr: Unable to read .toc in /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0/ check path, permission, and filesets.

And I got this from a websphere technician, but no solution.
I've seen cases before with other software where the AIX lpp commands got a bit confused about dependencies and status, when the software was fairly large and had optional modules... that may be what's going on here.

Does anybody have any idea about this issue or what can I do to run the command "lppmgr -d /myimages -u" without .toc issues?

Thanks.

Thiago.

Why are you running the lppmgr command - I thought that was a NIM command.
It is to remove duplicates in a lpp_source - i.e. the files used for updating your system.
It is not for removing duplicates in what you have installed but then I have not seriously used this command so I could have that wrong.

What is VERY worrying is the "sh: /bin/rm: not found" ?
That sounds like you have a very bad environment setup

• for a start I though rm was in /usr/bin/rm

You are I hope aware the AIX 5.2 is very out of date - Are you on the latest technology level?
oslevel -s
should tell you the level you are currently running and the latest in TL10.
IMHO - anything else is suicidal.
Find the details on the IBM Support web http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/fp/fixpacks?release=52

Assuming you have purchased AIX Support, I would call them to resolve the initial problem.

Actually, since AIX 6.1 was made available, AIX 5.2 became unsupported...
I would suggest to do a migration install to 5.3 as a first step!

I made a mistake, the current version is 5200-09-CSP (oslevel -s command).

I was advised by websphere team to reinstall the latest Broker fixpack again to fix the problem.

I have not done it yet, I'll post the results here later.

Thank you all.
