Running kfixer on AIX 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/aix directory.
  5. Run the following file:
    kfixer.sh
  6. Check that the utility has worked successfully by viewing the kfixer.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.

    The file contents are similar, except that the third line is:
    0 objects deleted
    This is because this line refers to the deletion of the kernel extension on disk.

    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.
