Hi,

I have a NIM master at AIX 7.1 with clients at both AIX 7 and AIX 6. I just pulled down the bff files for AIX 6.1.6.3 (with 6.1.6.0 included). I tried creating an lpp_source from this code, but I am getting c_mk_lpp_source errors, and the creation of the lpp_source stops (never finishes).

So what am I doing wrong?? This is the first time I've tried to create an lpp_source from files I've pulled off the web. It seems to be looking for bos.* files, which it won't find literally in the /aix61/6163 directory.

Thanks for any help!!!

You need the Original CD to create the base LPP_SOURCE. Whatever you downloaded has only update version. run installp -Ld /xyz ( replace xyz with your bff file directory) and u will see most of the filesetts are update version,( ends with .u).

U need to create the lpp_source from original cd first, then u can apply web updates to that lpp_source. Check my website www.sinhass.com for those steps and more nim stuffs.
