AIX 6.1 - syncwpar Issue

[dial8d]

I guess as the beta is closed now, AIX 6.1 queries go in this forum ?

Well, heres my issue.

My global partition is at 6100-00-02-0750, with 2 system wpars running.

I have installed the latest openssl filesets into the global partition.

openssl.base 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
openssl.license 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket License
openssl.man.en_US 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
openssl.base 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer

Now, when i try and sync the system wpars, i get this error ;

root@aixtest01:/# syncwpar syswpar1
*******************************************************************************
Synchronizing workload partition syswpar1 (1 of 1).
*******************************************************************************
Executing /usr/sbin/syncroot in workload partition syswpar1.

syncroot: ATTENTION, Root part is currently synchronized, but there are other
SWVPD inconsistencies. Please execute "/usr/bin/lppchk -v" for more information.
syncroot: Returns Status = FAILURE

syncwpar: 0960-264 Error synchronizing workload partition syswpar1.

Return Status = FAILURE.


from the system wpar syswpar1, i run lppchk -v, and get this ;

root@syswpar1:/# /usr/bin/lppchk -v
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:

sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.0 (not installed; requisite fileset)

This package is installed in the global partition though ;

root@aixtest01:/# lslpp -l | grep sysmgt.pconsole.rte
sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.1 COMMITTED System P Console Runtime
sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.0 COMMITTED System P Console Runtime


Any ideas what the problem is ?

I suspect the fact you've got

sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.1 COMMITTED System P Console Runtime

installed is the problem, considering it's a beta it may not be checking for versions other than

sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.0 COMMITTED System P Console Runtime

i posted on the developer works forum too, and cut and pasted here without editing that bit out !

oops

My understanding is that sysmgt.pconsole.rte is installed as part of the default AIX 6.1 installation.

My test system has a default installation of the general release of AIX 6.1, not the beta. I then applied the latest fix pack to AIX 6.1.

hmm...well i tried un-installing sysmgt.pconsole.rte and its dependant filesets from the global partition, and i no longer get the error when syncing the wpars.

root@aixtest01:/# syncwpar -v -A

I guess this is a bug.
