Cannot load program svrmgrl ... AIX 5.1 Oracle 8.1.7

[raylin]

After cloning an AIX SP Node (AIX 5.1 32bit AIX Kernel Oracle 8.1.7 32bit rdbms) with mksysb install and after that restoring from the source machine with TSM the whole /oracle containing the 8.1.7 code I get the following error message on the target when I try to start "svrmgrl" :

oracle8i@bssp145:BO /home/oracle8i>svrmgrl
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program svrmgrl because of the following errors:

From the IBM site:

If this occurs on AIX 5.1, you have asynchronous I/O turned off.
To turn on asynchronous I/O:

Run smitty chgaio and set STATE to be configured at system restart from defined to available.
Press Enter.
Do one of the following:
Restart your system.
Run smitty aio and move the cursor to Configure defined Asynchronous I/O. Then press Enter.

Hope this works for you.

it is OK now after enabling AIO

But why was it disabled after the mksysb install because on the source it was enabled ?

Sorry, I've no idea, but this document:

http://csit1cwe.fsu.edu/extra_link/pssp/instmig/spi2mst23.html

does mention steps to be taken to preserve the setting.
