problem with rdac on aix 5.2+ fastt600 turbo

[kat115]

hi,
I posted this messages on IBM disks and raid forum and i post it here too..if anyone can help?

i just installed an ibm pseries with aix 5.2; 2 ibm HBA 6239 directly attached to a fastt600 turbo but driver rdac doesn't want to load
i checked all the PTFs they are all up to date
fcs, fscsi, dac and dar are ok but no rdac
disks are seen and usable/ i tried several times to delete all the tree (from hdisks to fcs) and re-run cfgmgr but it tells me that devices.scsi is required and not installed (but it is installed!)

Method error (/etc/methods/cfgnam -l nampd0):
0514-068 Cause not known.
sh: /etc/methods/cfgnam: not found.

cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for
device support but are not currently installed.
devices.scsi


i don't understand what's happening
please can you help me find out the solution.?
thanks a lot
kat

Command_to_Execute follows below:
>> run_cfgmgr()
{
MSG=`/usr/bin/dspmsg smit.cat -s 27 23 'none'`
if [[ "x$1" = x"" || "x$1" = x$MSG ]]
then
cfgmgr
exit $?
else
cfgmgr -i $1
exit $?
fi
}
run_cfgmgr '/dev/cd0'


Output from Command_to_Execute follows below:
