Here's the problem. I currently have an AIX 6.1 system running with the the latest fix pack applied.
However I'm under no circumstances able to deploy a WPAR. Any combination of arguments and attempts with and without WPAR Manager have failed resulting in the following output:

I've tried lots of things such as changing the permissions of /var/adm/ras/devinst.log etc, but nothing helps.
Anyone else have this problem ? I need to get this working.

Thanks for any advice.
