      I am managing several AIX servers with the same configuration:
     AIX 7200-05-07-2346
     local copy of AIX Toolbox repository
     lslpp -l rpm*
     Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
        rpm.rte                4.15.1.1011  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
        wxr-xr-x 1 root system 599 15. bře  2021 /usr/bin/rpm
     
     
     On some servers, a problem started to appear:
    lslpp -Lc openssl.base
    Memory fault(coredump)
     
    I figured there was a problem with the consistency of the RPM db, but the "dnf check" didn't find anything wrong.
    Then I found that if I use 
           env -i /usr/bin/ksh -c "lslpp -Lc openssl.base"
     instead of
          lslpp -Lc openssl.base
      the problem does not occur
     
     The problem does not occur even if I remove /usr/bin/rpm.

    You may hit the problem https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ46087

    Why don't you install SP8/SP9?

    Hello Antonin,

    Please check your ulimits on the systems where it runs and fails:

    ulimit -a

    If the ulimits have been tuned down from the defaults, this can happen. 

    Thanks!

    Thank you all for your ideas and comments. The problem is/was caused by an unintentional reduction in RAM size combined with setting or not setting ulimits. 
    I have checked the consistency of the RPM database. The rpm commands themselves work reliably. The problem occurs when calling the rpm commands internally e.g., from lslpp or updtvkpg,
    lslpp -h did not have the problem
    lslpp -Lc openssl.base ended Memory fault


    #Andrey K. Thanks for the tip, but I don't have the competence to deploy the fix, I have to get it approved first

    Hi Antonin,

    Are you able to run rpm query commands like "rpm -qa".

    If /usr/bin/rpm failing did you also try with  /opt/freeware/bin/rpm and /usr/opt/rpm/bin/rpm commands ?
