Hello all,
When performing alt_disk_copy i am getting the following error.
$ alt_disk_copy -d hdisk3
/usr/sbin/alt_disk_copy1366: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 339 : `"' is not matched.

Assuming that there is some error in the script it self i copied the alt_disk_copy script from some other server(where alt_disk_copy worked properly)....

$ oslevel -r
6100-06

Both the disk are of equal size.
$ bootinfo -s hdisk0
139047

$ bootinfo -s hdisk3
139047

After debugging I found the below o/p

Raise a PMR - this looks like a bug or something wrong with your configuration.
You have checked for AIX errors? - errpt
Also it is better to quote oslevel -s as this includes the service packs.
You have all the service packs install .... of course.

As Nigel says it's probably a bug but what is line (Syntax error at line) 339?
