    correcting the LIBPATH in AIX it is working :

    root@rb3zf15cl(Fe):/ $ /usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/clrest

     

    /usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/clrest: Usage:

            clrest -o open {-H <Hmcname> -u <username> -x <password>}


    checking archive:


    root@rb3zf15cl(Fe):/ $ ar -t /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a

    libxml2.so.2


      0509-152   Member libxml2.shr.o is not found in archive  



    root@rb3zf15cl(Fe):/ $ ar -t  /usr/lib/libxml2.a

    libxml2.so.2

    libxml2.shr.o



    what is my problem here please ?

    Hi Vince,

    what is your default LIBPATH? Was it set up or not?

    AIX has its own libxml2.a in the package bos.rte.control (don't remember since which version). In this case you have a conflict between two libxml2.a libraries.

    Hi
    by default the LIBPATH on this Lpar is empty but if you check with dump the binary you see this:


    /usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/clrest:

    ***Loader Section***
    Loader Header Information
    VERSION# #SYMtableENT #RELOCent LENidSTR
    0x00000001 0x0000008e 0x0000017f 0x000000ce

    #IMPfilID OFFidSTR LENstrTBL OFFstrTBL
    0x00000008 0x00001f64 0x0000050d 0x00002032


    ***Import File Strings***
    INDEX PATH BASE MEMBER
    0 /opt/freeware/lib:/usr/es/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lpp/xlC/lib



    so the Libpath in the binary itself is wrong....

    Yes, I checked it on one of my PowerHA clusters and can confirm the problem. But I think it is a problem of PowerHA development - clrest is part of cluster.es.server.utils package. Did you try to open a case?

    Hi Vince,

    Yes as you discussed this is issue with the binary. It has wrong library path for libxml2. 
    Looks like it was built with AIX base libxml2.a that has libxml2.shr.o shared object but in the binary search path
    it is looking the same library in /opt/freeware/lib. 
    We need to discuss this with PowerHA team.
    Is it happening in the latest PowerHA or this was always the case ?

    Hello Sanket
    sorry for delay but i was out of office attending an IBM conference....the HA Version is 7.2.5
    We have opened a ticket at powerha i will provide to you...or you you had the chance to discuss with PowerHA Team ?
    In the directory i see this

    root@rb3zi15cl(Si):/usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities $ ls -la /opt/freeware/lib/libxml*
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 9600864 Nov 19 2020 /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 6062188 Nov 19 2020 /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.so.2

    Hi Sebastian,

    I am still discussing your question about lib path preference to the PowerHA Developers.
    I am taking the position that this is a code error and should be fixed.
    I am waiting the response from Developers.
    Best Regards,
    Loel Graber

    As a workaround (until PowerHA problem is solved), you can extract libxml2.shr.o from AIX libxml2.a and add it to /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a:

    mkdir /tmp/1
    cd /tmp/1
    ar x /usr/ccs/lib/libxml2.a
    cp /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a .
    ar q libxml2.a libxml2.shr.o
    mv /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a /opt/freeware/lib/libxml2.a.orig
    mv libxml2.a /opt/freeware/lib/

    But you have to repeat the procedure every time, you update the RPM package.
