Here are some commands that might help troubleshoot this. Find out if there are any aix6.1 or aix7.1 specific packages that should be reinstalled with their aix7.2 equivalents: rpm -qla | grep ibm-aix | grep -v -e 'ibm-aix7\.2\.0\.0' -e pkg-config rpm -qla | grep ibm-aix | xargs rpm -qf | sort -u ...

Steve, I don't know. I don't currently use AWX/Ansible. Sometimes you can just prefix environment variables to the command you are running like is: ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos /usr/sbin/nim ------------------------------ Edward Davignon ------------------------------

You should probably make sure ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos and the NIM variables from /etc/environment or your shell login scripts, and/or sudoers configuration match between the environments. For example, these environment variables: NIM_MKSYSB_SUBDIRS, NIMSH_FORCE_KSH, and NIM_STD_AUTH_METHOD. Here is a ...

Steve, I would start by comparing the process environment. What are the differences of the output of the env command in the command line environment vs the automation tool? What are the differences of "/usr/bin/ulimit -Sa"? "/usr/bin/ulimit -Ha"? ------------------------------ Edward Davignon ...

While updating to AIX7.2 TL4 SP4, the fileset, "bos.adt.prof", failed to update. Turning on the option, "-V4", for the command, "installp"; revealed it was a conflict with the subdirectory, "/usr/lib/profiled", which the command, "rpm -qf /usr/lib/profiled", showed as belonging to an RPM package, "c ...

How long shrinking a file system depends on how much data needs to be moved. Keep in mind, applications and databases may need to wait for chfs to finish resizing a file system before the application can access the data or write to the data. That is, applications may hang until chfs finishes resizing ...

That reminds me, it is time to remove X11.Dt, now that I am done troubleshooting ksh and ksh93 with /usr/dt/bin/dtksh ------------------------------ Edward Davignon ------------------------------

Thanks Stephen. :) It is also odd that things like /var/run, /var/log, and /var/lib are in add-in packages, not in bos.rte or similar packages. For example, /var/lib is in X11.samples.apps.clients, X11.apps.xdm, and rpm.rte. It seems like this has a potential that uninstalling or installing samples ...

It is probably worth noting that there is a small inconsistency of ownership of /var/run in AIX itself: $ sudo sh -c 'ls -ld /usr/lpp/*/inst_root/var/run' drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 256 Aug 22 2018 /usr/lpp/X11.apps/inst_root/var/run drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Oct 21 2019 /usr/lpp/bos.aso/inst_root/var/run ...

Interesting. /etc/rc.d/rc disallows run levels 0 and 1, while /usr/sbin/shutdown processes each and every K* script in rc[0-9].d ------------------------------ Edward Davignon ------------------------------

That is odd that something in rc0.d was called, since it is not listed in inittab (by default); and the only entry in the initab that references runlevel 0, is the cons entry for the getty on the system console. Does anyone know how this happened? I do know that init monitors inittab for changes and ...

Russel, Would this apply to /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/Ksshd, as well, or perhaps the OpenSSH packages for IBM intended it to be restarted when entering full multi-user mode (i.e. run level 2 on AIX)? The article you referenced is very interesting. Thanks for sharing it. ------------------------------ ...

Would it be possible to build tmux with ncurses instead of AIX curses. I was trying to use the recently released tmux-3.1b-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm with a locally installed version of byobu, but the colors were not working like the version of tmux that I had compiled using ncurses6. Also when I try to build ...

Thanks for fixing the conflict over /usr/bin/cpp between the Base OS fileset xlC.cpp and RPM gcc-cpp by removing /usr/bin/cpp from RPM gcc-cpp-8.3.0-3. I reinstalled xlC.cpp to prevent anomalies between current systems and any new systems that may be installed in the future. It is surprising what looks ...

When was rpm.rte installed? lslpp -ha rpm.rte The script /usr/opt/rpm/bin/recreate_opt_bin_lib_links will create that symlink, if the bzip2 RPM was not already installed or if libbz2.a was not registered in /usr/opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a (e.g. a third-party libbz2 RPM) rpm -qf /usr/opt/free ...

Thank you for fixing 64-bit sudo. It seems to be working well. I did discover a few things: For Kerberos authenticated AIX accounts, I had to add "program_64 = /usr/lib/security/KRB5_64" to the KRB5 stanza in /etc/methods.cfg before sudo_64 worked. It was giving the following error message: ...
