Running kfixer on Windows agents

Perform the following steps:

  1. Log on to the agent as root.
  2. Copy the kfixer utility tar (kfixer.tar) to the node.
  3. Unpack the utility tar file into a temporary directory (hereafter referred to as <TEMP_DIR>). The following structure will be created in <TEMP_DIR>:
    \kfixer
    \aix
    kfixer.sh
    ucfgtlmkagent_kfix
    \sun
    tlmfixer
    \win
    tlmkfixer.exe
    tlmkfilter.sys
  4. Change to the <TEMP_DIR>\kfixer\win directory.
  5. Run the following file:
    tlmkfixer
  6. Check that the utility has worked successfully by viewing the tlmkfixer.log file in the <TEMP_DIR> directory. The expected contents should be as follows, depending on the status of the agent when the utility was run:
    Note:
    If the agent is installed but not running at the moment of running the utility, a slight variation in these messages may be noted, but the substance will be the same.
    Agent installed
    Agent stopped
    TlmKfixer now running
    TlmKAgent now harmless
    Agent restarted
    Fixing completed
    
    Agent installed but utility already run
    Agent stopped
    TlmKAgent is not installed; fixer not needed
    Fixing completed
    
    Agent not installed
    Agent not installed
    Unable to copy tlmkfilter from .\tlmkfilter.sys to 
    C:\WINNT\itlm\tlmkfilter.sys (3)
    
    
    Note:
    If you are using a shell or a software distribution program to run the utility you can monitor the program return code: 0 indicates that the utility was successful and 1 indicates that an error occurred.

    IF THE LOG FILE CONTAINS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE ABOVE, OR IF A SHELL OR SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM DETECTS AN ERROR CODE OF 1, CONTACT IBM SOFTWARE SUPPORT, AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE THE AGENT SOFTWARE.
