Was wondering what is the best way to remove yum from AIX and all dependent packages? rpm -e and go and cleanup everything?
An issue was reported to me that hacmp startup fast path wasn't working. I've narrowed it down to yum, HACMP 7.1.3, and AIX 7.1.3.3.
For testing, I set up a two node cluster, one node had yum installed from the yum.sh script. No other AIX or HA software levels have been tested.
After installation was successful, ran smitty clstart and received this:

Before running yum.sh, smitty clstart gave the screen:

Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.

Additional note: yum has been installed in a prod cluster with same version of AIX/hacmp hence forth my testing when this issue was brought to my attention. Sadly, yum and its packages were installed long after my retention settings in my TSM / NIM server, so all my backups's have yum ready to go.
I seem to recall that the "error: incorrect format: unknown tag" was resolved in a later AIX level, however we are a little beholden to vendor supported versions of AIX and can't easily upgrade. And for some reason, I'm unable to find that document at this time. If memory servers me correctly it's AIX 7.1.4.3, but don't hold me to that.
Thanks everyone
***EDIT So, it seems that fileset AIX-rpm-7.1.3.15-5.ppc may be the culprit. ran rpm -e AIX-rpm-7.1.3.15-5.ppc, and able to bring up smitty clstart.
I will keep looking about.
