  • 1.  awsstart failing - ideas?

    Posted Thu April 25, 2013 07:07 PM

    awsstart is throwing an "AWSSTA138E Terminate CPU-0 failed, RC=43" error. 

    SecureUpdateUtility completed with success, awsckmap shows no errors or warnings, z1090instcheck show OK everywhere.

    processors 1 specified in the devmap

    Full capture of the startup looks like this:

    ibmsys1 bin$ /usr/z1090/bin/awsstart /Appliance/devmaps/aprof1 --clean

    Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

    The failure of OSA to init would make me want to check the permissions of the current user to the /usr/z1090/bin/eDMosa  since I don't know if this config worked before or not ...

    The following procedure is suggested for those who are concerned about z1090's eDMosa file allowing any userid to execute it. It will minimize the list of userids that could potentially exploit kernel mode via access through eDMosa .

    • After install and using the root id ..
    • create a unique group ie: groupadd <your_group> (maybe RDzUT)
    • change group_owner of eDMosa ie: chgrp <your_group> /usr/z1090/bin/eDMosa
    • set eDMosa permissions to 4750 ie: chmod 4750 /usr/z1090/bin/eDMosa

    It could be that your eDMosa is already part of a group and all you have to do is to add your current user to the same group?

    I checked the permissions for eDMosa and they are consistent with those I am using on another, working instance
    of RD&T (different operating system, same layout of the zVolumes and the devmap though).  I don't have a need to use
    any other variant of the permission scheme.

    Other suggestions?  A way to enable detailed diagnostics?  I can't seem to find deeper information related to the
    error message.

    Thanks for your help.
