This happens when I run cfgmgr.

This is the error message below, although this path can not be found on this and other boxes (the other nodes do not get the message when running cfgmgr.

sh: /usr/lib/methods/cfgfan: not found.

1. cfgmgr

Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgfan):

From the boot log below:

What does cfgmgr -v show

Here is the fix:
The cfgmgr is trying to run the /usr/lib/methods/cfgfan method, however, the /usr/lib/methods/cfgfan file doesn't exist. That's why the error message is being generated. The cfgfan rule is left over in the ODM from an earlier version of AIX and can be removed without a problem.

I removed the cfgfan config rule from the ODM by the following commands that resolved the problem.

1. cd /etc/objrepos
2. cp Config_Rules Config_Rules.orig.20081210
3. odmdelete -o Config_Rules -q rule=/usr/lib/methods/cfgfan

1. cfgmgr

#

cfgmgr now runs successfully without any errors messages (i.e. it no longer tries to run the cfgfan method).
