  • 1.  ILMT Disconnected Scanner iSeries

    Posted Fri September 22, 2023 11:58 AM

    We are standing up ILMT disconnected scanner on multiple iSeries lpar's but having an issue on one LPAR. All others have been successful.

    The error occurs during the /cit/run_sw_and_pack.sh after the initial install.

    This was installed using qsecofr account and all of the required directories and files do appear to exist.

    Thanks!

    Hello Brad,

    Problem seems to be with the default path for Qshell commands :
    /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/touch: invalid option -- 'C' 


    'touch' (and also 'cp') command (from /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin) which has been used here is not the one which was supposed to be used (from /usr/bin).
    Those commands has not been run from QShell but rather from PASE for i repository.

    Those two can't be run interchangeably...both use although similar but a separate sets of utilities and commands.
    Most PASE for i directories and files (including shells and utilities) are stored in the /QOpenSys file system.

    Changing the order of your PATH environment variable should address this problem...
