<P>You can choose to do a preview installation before performing the acutal
installation. A preview installation provides the preinstallation
information that will occur during a regular installation, however no software
will actually be installed.
<P>When you select a package or fileset to be installed with the preview
installation process, you will see a list that contains all the requisite
packages and filesets needed by the selected package or fileset to be
successfully installed.
<P>The other information generated during the preinstallation process concerns
file system size checking. The file systems are checked to make sure
there is enough free space available to install the selected package or
fileset.
<P>You can run the list software and previewing software functions from the
command line, the SMIT interface, or the Web-based System Manager
interface.

file.
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_43">sendmail on AIX Version 3.2.5/4.1.5 and sendmail on AIX Version 4.3.3</A></H4>
<P>sendmail Version 5.64 (supported on AIX version 3.2.5

to assist in migration of the Version 5.64
<B>/etc/sendmail.cf</B> file to the Version 8.9.3
<B>/etc/sendmail.cf</B> file.
<P>During migration installation of AIX Version 4.3.3, the

<P>
<PRE>/usr/lpp/save.config/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/lpp/save.config/etc/sendmail.cf

8.8.8 and Version 8.9.3 sendmail binaries.
The Version 8.8.8 <B>/etc/sendmail.cf</B> file works
with the Version 8.9.3 sendmail binary. However, each new
version of <B>/etc/sendmail.cf </B>contains new rewrite rules,
macros, and options that are particular to the updated sendmail binary.
Therefore, if you choose to run the Version 8.7
<B>/etc/sendmail.cf</B> file with the Version 8.9.3
sendmail binary, you could lose some new features and function particular to
Version 8.9.3. You may want to merge the new options,
macros, and rewrite rules. The new <B>sendmail.cf</B> file
should have been saved in
<B>/usr/lpp/save.config/etc/sendmail.cf.new</B>.
You must merge this manually, because no migration script exists.

<P><H4><A NAME="Header_50">Firmware</A></H4>
<P>The firmware in many of the PCI bus-based RS/6000 machines is limited
regarding the region of the hard disk from which it can read a boot
image. This problem will not be encountered under most
circumstances. The symptom of the problem is a failure to boot from
hard disk, and a message from firmware similar to <TT>unrecognized Client
Program format</TT>.
<P>The affected machines can be identified most easily as the machines that
provide access to the firmware System Management Services by means of pressing
the F1 keys on the system attached keyboard, or the 1 key on a tty
keyboard.
<P>The problem is that the firmware on the affected machines cannot read the
boot image from the hard disk if any part of the boot image resides past the 4
gigabyte boundary on the hard disk. This is not a problem for most
customers because the AIX installation process creates the boot logical volume
at the beginning of the disk. This is achieved by using the
<B>-a</B> flag with the <B>mklv</B> command and specifying
<B>e</B> (which corresponds to <B>edge</B>) as the argument for the
<B>-a</B> flag. Using the <B>mklv</B> command with this
parameter results in the boot logical volume being created at the edge of the
hard disk, and the resulting address that the firmware uses to read the boot
image will be within a safe range. The AIX installation process has
always created the boot logical volume near the edge of the hard disk because
that region of the hard has the slowest access time, and this allows other
regions of the hard disk to be used by filesystems that can benefit from the
better performance.
<P>The only way that a customer can encounter this problem is by creating and
initializing a new boot logical volume that extends past the 4 gigabyte
boundary of the hard disk, either in part or in entirety.
<P>In almost all cases, there is no need for a customer to create a new boot
logical volume, but if they do, they should use the <B>lsvg</B> and
<B>lslv</B> commands to verify that the newly created boot logical volume
does not reside above the 4 gigabyte address on the hard disk.
<P>An example of this calculation follows:
<OL TYPE=1>
<LI>Run <B>lsvg rootvg</B> to determine PP SIZE.
<DL><DT><B>Note:</B></DT><DD>On a 4.5 gigabyte hard disk,the default PP SIZE is 8 megabytes.
</DD></DL>
</LI><LI>Run <B>lslv -m bootlv00</B>
<P>Replace bootlv00 with the name of the newly created boot logical
volume. The numbers in the second, fourth, and sixth columns of the
output indicate the physical partitions which have been assigned to the boot
logical volume. If the PP SIZE is 8 megabytes, the boot logical volume
must not use any physical partition above 511. (512 * 8 = 4096, which
is 4 gigabytes). Similarly, if the PP SIZE is 16 megabytes, the boot
image must not use any partition above 255, and if the PP SIZE is 4 megabytes,
then the boot image must not use any partition above 1023.
</LI></OL>
<P>As a reminder, this problem will not happen unless the customer has created
and initialized a boot image that resides above the 4 gigabyte
boundary.

Array subsystems to AIX 4.3 must also obtain and install the latest
version of controller and drive microcode. This microcode update can be
obtained using hardware service channels (800-IBM-SERV in the
U.S.) by requesting ECA 010. A new publication for the

should also be ordered. This publication is titled <I>7135 RAIDiant
Array for AIX: Installation Guide and Reference</I>, SC23-1742.
<P><H3><A NAME="Header_72" HREF="#MTOC_72">Interface Specific Network Options (ISNO)</A></H3>
<P>Prior to AIX 4.3.3, several key network options had a single
global default value, making it very difficult to tune a system that has
widely differing network adapters. Some applications are capable of
setting their own options (overriding the defaults), but most of these
applications only allow a single setting and this does not work well with
different network adapters.
<P>AIX 4.3.3 provides a feature called Interface Specific
Network Options (ISNO). This feature can be enabled (the default) or
disabled by setting the <B>no</B> option (<B>use_isno</B>) to 1 or
0.
<P>For each network interface, five new parameters have been added;
<B>rfc1323</B>, <B>tcp_nodelay</B>, <B>tcp_sendspace</B>,
<B>tcp_recvspace</B>, and <B>tcp_mssdflt</B>. These correspond
to the same values in the <B>no</B> options.
<P>If these values are set for a specific interface, then they will override
the system <B>no</B> default value. This allows different network
adapters to be tuned for the best performance.
<P>Use the <B>lsattr -E -l</B> <I>interface</I> command to display the
values. They can be changed via the <B>chdev -l</B>
<I>interface</I> <B>-a</B> <I>attribute</I>=<I>value</I>
command. For example, <TT>chdev -l en0 -a tcp_recvspace=65536 -a
tcp_sendspace=65536</TT> sets the <B>tcp_recvspace</B> and
<B>tcp_sendspace</B> to 64K for <B>en0</B> interface. Using the
<B>chdev</B> command will change the value in the ODM database so it will
be saved between system reboots. If you want to set a value for testing
or temporarily, use the <B>ifconfig</B> command. For example,
<TT>ifconfig en0 hostname tcp_recvspace 65536 tcp_sendspace 65536 tcp_nodelay
1</TT> sets the <B>tcp_recvspace</B> and <B>tcp_sendspace</B> to 64K
and enables <B>tcp_nodelay</B>.

<P>The 4330-05 Recommended Maintenance Package contains the SNAPP
product. SNAPP is used for performing limited system administration and
basic RS/6000 network configuration from a handheld Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA) through a serial line connection. The handheld PDA must be
compatible with Palm OS.
<P>The SNAPP product's primary purpose is to allow IP address
configuration on a newly preinstalled AIX system that does not have a monitor
or ASCII terminal and keyboard attached. It is assumed that once the
AIX machine is on a network, access can be given to it through
<B>telnet</B>, the <B>rlogin</B> command, or some other TCP/IP remote
login command. However, the SNAPP product is not designed to replace a
monitor or ASCII terminal.
<P>The SNAPP product consists of a SNAPP client, the
<B>Snapp.prc</B> program, which resides on a handheld PDA, and a
SNAPP server, <B>/usr/sbin/snappd</B>, which resides in AIX. The
client and server communicate over the serial connection using simple XML
statements. The SNAPP server performs system administration tasks
through perl scripts.
<P>The serial connection is made as the handheld PDA's serial cable is
plugged into the serial port of an AIX box.
<P>The SNAPP product is contained in the
<B>bos.net.snapp</B> fileset. When this fileset is
installed, all the necessary files for the SNAPP server are installed on the
local machine. The SNAPP client binary is installed in
<B>/usr/samples/snapp/Snapp.prc</B>. It can also be
downloaded from the AlphaWorks site at the following URL:
<PRE>http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/tech/snapp
</PRE>
<P>The SNAPP client requires a handheld PDA that is compatible with Palm OS
and has a Palm OS software level of V3.5.0 or above. To
copy the SNAPP client binary onto your handheld PDA, copy the
<B>Snapp.prc</B> file to a PC and install the SNAPP application as
you would install any other handheld PDA application. The SNAPP icon

<P>The AIX 4.3.0, AIX 4.3.1, and AIX
4.3.2 X server is upgraded to the X Consortium release 6 version
of X (commonly known as X11R6.3). The libraries are upgraded to
X11R6.3 as well. These libraries are backward-compatible, in
that the broad majority of applications work as on previous releases of
AIX. For maximum customer flexibility, compatibility options for X11R3,
X11R4, and X11R5 libraries are also shipped.
<P>Applications that use the loadable extension facility provided by the X
server may need to change. The X server allows the addition of new
functionality through its extension mechanism. For each extension, part
of the extension is loaded into the X server before it can be executed.
X11R6.3 has modified how this mechanism works in the course of
improvements to X, and it is this part of the extension that must be made
compatible with X11R6.3 to execute properly. All of the
extensions that are supplied are compatible and execute properly. In
some circumstances, including the following, a customer may have an extension
that will not work with X11R6.3:
<UL>
<LI>A customer has a sample extension downloaded from the X Consortium FTP
site.
</LI><LI>A customer develops his own extension.
</LI><LI>A customer uses a third-party extension.
</LI></UL>
<P>In these cases, the extension must be made compatible with X11R6.3
before it executes properly. Customer-developed extensions and sample X
consortium extensions must be recompiled with the X11R6.3
environment. For third-party extensions, the customer should contact
the vendor for a X11R6.3 compatible update.
<P>Customers using non-IBM display adapters may also be using vendor-supplied
software specific to those devices, which uses X11R6.3 Server
capabilities. If so, this software must be made compatible with
X11R6.3 to operate properly. The customer should contact the
particular vendor of the display adapter for this software.

clients in AIX Version 4.3.
<P>The <B>-r5</B> flag is useful for DAPs that depend on X11R5
functionality that no longer exists in X11R6 (for example,

<P>The Documentation Library Service provides three types of Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs) to the user, as follows:
<UL>
<LI>The Global Documentation Library Service GUI. This GUI shows all
documentation on the documentation server that has been registered with the
Global GUI. This GUI can be accessed by the icons in the Help sub-panel
in the CDE desktop.
</LI><LI>The AIX Documentation Library GUI. This GUI contains the AIX
operating system manuals. This GUI can be accessed by the icons in the
Help sub-panel in the CDE desktop.
</LI><LI>The application GUI. Applications can use the library to create
GUIs that just show the manuals for that application. This type of GUI
is typically launched from within the application. An example of this
type of GUI is the extended help GUI that is launched from within the AIX
Web-Based System Manager application.
</LI></UL>
<P>Users can access the global library application by typing
<TT>docsearch</TT> on the command line or by clicking the <B>Documentation
Library</B> icon in the Help subpanel under the CDE Desktop front
panel.
<DL><DT><B>Note:</B></DT><DD>IBM continues to ship <B>topnav.htm</B>. If you have a
bookmark to <B>topnav.htm</B>, the links out of that navigation
model will continue to work; however, the header and footer links will
take you into the Documentation Library Service, and you may not be able to
get back to <B>topnav.htm</B>. If you try to open the AIX
Version 4.3.3 Documentation Library using the AIX Library
Documentation icon and you do not have AIX 4.3.3 documentation
installed for the language you are using, you will be sent to a previous level
4.3 (for example, 4.3.2) documentation navigation
page. This page allows you to navigate to any previous level of AIX
manuals that may be installed.
</DD></DL>
<P>The documentation information is made accessible by loading it onto the
hard disk or by mounting the documentation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
While mounting the CD saves on the amount of hard disk space used, it requires
the CD be kept in the CD-ROM drive at all times. Also, searching the
documentation from the CD-ROM drive can be significantly slower (in some cases
up to ten times slower) than searching the information if it is installed on a
hard disk.
<P>You can install all of the AIX documentation from the AIX Version
4.3 Base Documentation CD and the AIX Version 4.3 Extended
Documentation CD or you can selectively install pieces of the
documentation. Some documentation may have previously been installed
with the operating system or other licensed products. Run the
<B>lslpp</B> command to determine which packages and filesets are already
installed on your system.
<P>See <I>Installation Guide</I>, SC23-4112, for information about
mounting the documentation CD-ROMs, installing documentation from these
CD-ROMs, and configuring a documentation server.

<P><H4><A NAME="Header_86">Using the man Command</A></H4>
<P>If you are interested in viewing reference information (on topics such as
commands, subroutines, and files) by using the <B>man</B> command, you
must first install the AIX documentation. See the "Installation and
Configuration" subsection under the "Documentation" section of this
publication for more information.
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_87">Configuring the Language of the AIX Documentation</A></H4>
<P>By default, documentation that is viewed by using the <B>docsearch</B>
command or the CDE Desktop icons for the AIX Documentation or the
Documentation Library appears in the same language as the current locale of
the user's client computer.
<P>However, you may want to see the documentation in a language other than the
language of the system's or user's current default locale.
Starting in AIX 4.3.2, the documentation language can be changed
for all users on a system, or it can be changed for a single user. The
<B>chdoclang</B> utility program is available for configuring the language
of the AIX Documentation.
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_88">Locale Requisite for Documentation</A></H4>
<P>Starting with AIX Version 4.3.3, the documentation requires
its locale to be installed. The only exception is the English
documentation, which does not require the en_US locale to be installed.
<P>This prerequisite allows the unified library CGIs to collate and parse text
when the library is being searched.
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_89">Changing the Documentation Language for All Users</A></H4>
<P>To change the default documentation language for all users, the system
administrator, logged in as the root user, runs the following command:
<PRE>/usr/bin/chdoclang <I>locale</I>
</PRE>
<P>Where <I>locale</I> is the locale specification of the desired
documentation language. Running the command as the root user adds the
following line to the system's <B>/etc/environment</B> file:
<PRE>DOC_LANG=locale
</PRE>
<P>where locale is the <I>locale</I> that is the new default documentation
viewing and searching language. See the "Available Languages for AIX
Documentation Library" section for the appropriate locale name to be used with
the <B>chdoclang</B> command when configuring the language to be viewed
when selecting the Documentation Library icon.
<DL><DT><B>Note:</B></DT><DD>If the users are using a remote documentation server, the DOC_LANG variable
should be set on the user's client computer, not the remote
server. Also, the language change does not take effect until the next
time a user logs out and back into the computer.
</DD></DL>
<P>For example, when a computer's default locale is English, a user sees
English documentation when using the docsearch command or selecting the
Documentation Library icon.
<P>If the system administrator now wants all the users to see Japanese
documentation instead of English, the administrator would enter the following
command:
<PRE>/usr/bin/chdoclang Ja_JP
</PRE>
<P>Which adds the following line to the system's
<B>/etc/environment</B> file:
<PRE>DOC_LANG=Ja_JP
</PRE>
<P>A user logging out and then logging back in will now see Japanese
documentation when using the <B>docsearch</B> command or selecting the
Documentation Library icon.
<DL><DT><B>Note:</B></DT><DD>Before a computer can serve documents in a language, the AIX locale (language
environment) for that language and the translated versions of the documents
must also be installed on the documentation server.
</DD></DL>
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_90">Changing the Documentation Language for a Single User</A></H4>
<P>A user may override their system's default documentation language by
running the following command:
<PRE>/usr/bin/chdoclang locale
</PRE>
<P>Where <I>locale</I> is the locale specification of the desired
documentation language. Running the command as described above will add
the following line to the user's <B>$HOME/.profile</B> file
(when the Korn shell is the default shell of the user):
<PRE>DOC_LANG=locale; export DOC_LANG
</PRE>
<P>Where <I>locale</I> is the locale that will be the new default
documentation viewing and searching language. See the "Available
Languages for AIX Documentation Library" section for the appropriate locale
name to be used with the <B>chdoclang</B> command when configuring the
language to be viewed when selecting the Documentation Library icon.
<P>For example, when a user's default locale is Japanese, the user will
see Japanese documentation when they use the <B>docsearch</B> command or
select the Documentation Library icon.
<P>However, suppose that the Japanese documentation is not installed but the
English documentation is installed. To view the English documentation
when the default locale is set to Japanese, the user would execute the
following command:
<PRE>/usr/bin/chdoclang en_US
</PRE>
<P>Which adds the following line to the user's
<B>$HOME/.profile</B> file (when the Korn shell is the default
shell of the user):
<PRE>DOC_LANG=en_US; export DOC_LANG
</PRE>
<P>A user logging out and then logging back in will now see English
documentation when using the <B>docsearch</B> command or selecting the
Documentation Library icon.
<DL><DT><B>Note:</B></DT><DD>Defining the DOC_LANG environment variable in a user's
<B>$HOME/.profile</B> (or <B>$HOME/.cshrc</B> for C
shell users) will take precedence over any global DOC_LANG setting in their
system's <B>/etc/environment</B> file.
</DD></DL>
<P>Also, CDE users must uncomment the "DTSOURCEPROFILE=true" line in the
<B>$HOME/.dtprofile</B> file, which will cause the
<B>$HOME/.profile</B> (or <B>$HOME/.cshrc</B> for C
shell users) to be read during CDE login.

<HR><H2><A NAME="Header_93" HREF="#MTOC_93">WLM Commands</A></H2>
<P><H3><A NAME="Header_94" HREF="#MTOC_94">wlmassign Command</A></H3>
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_95">Purpose</A></H4>
<P>Manually assign a process to a class.
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_96">Syntax</A></H4>
<P>wlmassign <I>ClassName PID</I>
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_97">Description</A></H4>
<P>The <B>wlmassign</B> command assigns the process designated by by its
process ID, <I>PID</I> to the class named <I>ClassName</I>.
This overrides the automatic assignment.
<P>The <B>wlmassign</B> command is restricted to the root user.
<P>The <I>ClassName</I> parameter specifies the class that the process is
to. The <I>PID</I> parameter specifies the process ID of the
process to be assigned to the new class.
<P>In addition to manual assignment, AIX 4.3.3 now supports a
new class attribute called <B>inheritance</B>. This attribute, with
a <B>yes</B> or <B>no</B> value, can be added to the classes file in
the same way the <B>tier</B> attribute is, for example. The default
value is <B>no</B>, indicating that new processes will be automatically
classified upon calling "exec". If the <B>inheritance</B> attribute
is set to <B>yes</B>, a new process created by a process in the class will
remain in the class regardless of which application it executes. The
syntax in the classes file is similar to the syntax for the other
attributes. Example of the description in the classes file of a class
named "student":
<PRE>student:
tier = 1
inheritance = yes
</PRE>
<P>Inheritance can be used together with manual assignment to assign an
application to a class when the application starts and make sure that all the
processes spawned by the application remain in the class to which the
application was manually assigned. Inheritance can be used
independently of manual assignment.
<P>The <B>wlmassign</B> command and inheritance attribute are provided in
AIX 4.3.3 to give 4.3.3 users early access to some
of the features available in Workload Manager with AIX 5L. AIX 5L
supports both manual assignment and the inheritance attribute. The AIX
5L <B>wlmassign</B> command is a superset of the 4.3.3
command and shell scripts using the 4.3.3 <B>wlmassign</B>
command syntax will still work when users upgrade to AIX 5L. This
situation is also true for class description files (classes) using
inheritance.
<P>When trying to manually reassign to a different class several cooperating
processes sharing memory, there is a risk of seeing shared memory segments go
to the shared class because between the individual manual assignments,
processes already assigned to the new class and processes net yet assigned to
the new class access the shared memory. It is therefore better to
reassign an application before it has spawned processes and start sharing
memory, using inheritance to make sure the children remain in the new
class. If this is not possible, reassign the different processes when
the application is not actively executing.
<DL><DT><B>Note:</B></DT><DD>The AIX 5L version of WLM does not have this constraint since the AIX 5L
wlmassign command takes as a parameter a list of PIDs and WLM makes the
reassignment of all the processes as a single operation, thus preventing
"false sharing."
</DD></DL>
<P>The <B>wlmassign</B> command comes with a 4.3.3 service
update and as such does not support localization, that is, the error messages
are in English only. The possible errors are as follows:
<UL>
<LI><B>wlmassign</B> is invoked by a non-root user.
</LI><LI>Syntax errors. The command issues the "usage" string as it appears
in the Syntax paragraph above.

<P><H4><A NAME="Header_100">Syntax</A></H4>
<PRE>wlmset [-a hardcpumax={yes|no} ] [-a shared={yes|no} ]
</PRE>
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_101">Description</A></H4>
<P>The <B>wlmset</B> command is used to customize WLM by setting global
option flags altering the standard behavior of WLM:
<UL>
<LI>The <B>hardcpumax</B> flag determines whether the CPU maximum limits
should be treated as "soft" limits; that is, they can be exceeded if
there is no contention for the CPU resource, or as "hard" (absolute) limit
should never be exceeded, even if no other class requests any CPU
cycles.
</LI><LI>The <B>shared</B> flag determines whether shared memory segments must
be "charged" to the Shared class when they are accessed by processes in
different classes, or remain into the class they were initially assign on the
first page fault (the class of the process which first accessed the
segment).
</LI></UL>
<P>The "standard" behavior when no options are set (when the <B>wlmset</B>
command has not been used) is:
<UL>
<LI>CPU maximum limits are treated as soft limits.
</LI><LI>A segment is classified to the Shared class the first time that a process
belonging to a class different from that of the segment faults on one page of
the segment.
</LI></UL>
<P>The fact that these options are global WLM flags means that they apply to
all the classes when set. The <B>wlmset</B> command can be used
whether or not WLM is active. For consistent results, it is recommended
that the <B>wlmset</B> command be used to customize Workload Manager prior
to starting it. Otherwise, in the case of the shared memory for
instance, shared memory segments accessed by processes in different classes
will go into the Shared class (and remain there) prior to the shared flag
being set and the shared memory segments accessed by processes in different
classes after the flag has been set will remain in their class of
origin.
<P>The customization of WLM is done by setting global flags in memory, and
thus has to be done every time a system is rebooted. The best method,
when using the same set of flags for each reboot, is to run the
<B>wlmset</B> command from the <B>inittab</B> prior to starting
WLM.
<P>The <B>wlmset</B> command is restricted to the root user.
<P><H4><A NAME="Header_102">Flags</A></H4>
<P>The <B>-a</B> flag precedes a keyword indicating which option is to be
set or reset. The valid keywords are:
<DL>
<P><DT><B>hardcpumax
</B></DT><DD>Possible values are "yes" or "no". Yes indicates that the CPU
maximum limits should be treated as absolute limits and should never be
exceeded. No indicates that the CPU maximum limits should be treated as
"soft" limits and can be exceeded if there is no contention for the CPU
resource. No is the default when <B>wlmset</B> is not used or is
used without specifying the <B>hardcpumax</B> keyword.
</DD><P><DT><B>shared
</B></DT><DD>Possible values are "yes" or "no". Yes indicates that shared memory
segments should "migrate" to the Shared class when accessed (page fault) by a
process belonging to a different class as that of the segment. This is
the default when <B>wlmset</B> is not used or is used without specifying
the shared keyword. No indicates that the segment should remain in the
class it was first classified into, regardless of the class of the processes
accessing it.
</DD></DL>
<P>This command is provided in AIX 4.3.3 to give AIX
4.3.3 users early access to some of the features available in
Workload Manager with AIX 5L.
<P>AIX 5L supports both "hard" and "soft" maximum limits which can be set
independently for all resource types managed by WLM, including CPU. AIX
5L also provide a per-class attribute (localshm) to prevent shared memory
segments to go into the Shared class on a per-class basis. It is
expected that users of <B>wlmset</B> will modify their WLM configuration
files to take full advantage of the corresponding AIX 5L features when they
upgrade from AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5L, and <B>wlmset</B> is not
supported by AIX 5L.
<P>This command comes with an AIX 4.3.3 service update and as
such does not support localization. The error messages are in English
only. The possible errors are as follows:
<UL>
<LI>The <B>wlmset</B> command is invoked by a non-root user.

<P><H3><A NAME="Header_114" HREF="#MTOC_114">DCE/DFS Migration to AIX Version 4.3</A></H3>
<P><B>Minimum Required Levels of DCE 2.1 on AIX
4.3:</B> Some optional DCE 2.1 filesets must be
installed at or later certain levels in order for DCE to be functional on AIX
4.3. The filesets and minimum levels are as follows:
<PRE>dce.client.dfs.rte 2.1.0.24
dce.dfs_server.rte 2.1.0.21
dce.dfsnfs.rte 2.1.0.11
dce.edfs.rte 2.1.0.19
</PRE>
<P>These upgrades are necessary for the DCE Distributed File System to work on
an AIX 4.3.2 or higher system. If DFS is started on an
AIX 4.3.2 machine without these upgrades, the machine will
experience network problems and may eventually crash.
<P>For customers using the DCE Distributed File System (DFS) for AIX,
migrating an existing AIX system to AIX 4.3 will automatically upgrade
the following filesets if they exist on the system:
<PRE>DCE Client Services dce.client.core.rte 2.1.0.26
DCE Security Services dce.security.rte 2.1.0.24
DCE DFS Client Services dce.client.dfs.rte 2.1.0.24
DCE DFS Base Server dce.dfs_server.rte 2.1.0.21
DCE Enhanced DFS dce.edfs.rte 2.1.0.19
DCE NFS to DFS Authenticating Gateway dce.dfsnfs.rte
</PRE>
<P>If the automatic upgrades are not successful during the AIX 4.3
migration installation, the AIX 4.3 system installation procedure will
detect that the DCE filesets are not at the minimum required level for running
on AIX 4.3. The installation procedure will move the existing
<B>/etc/dce/rc.dce</B> file to
<B>/etc/dce/rc.dce.downlevel</B> to prevent DCE/DFS from
starting on the system.
<P>If this occurs, apply the DCE PTFs from the AIX installation media, then
reboot the system. The
<B>/etc/dce/rc.dce.downlevel</B> file can then safely be
moved back to <B>/etc/dce/rc.dce</B> and DCE/DFS started on the
system.
<P>If you install DCE filesets after installing AIX 4.3, be sure to
install the required minimum levels prior to configuring DCE on the
machine.
<P>The DCE/DFS images on the AIX CD 1 media are not LPP images; they are
DCE/DFS updates that will be applied on machines where DCE/DFS is currently
installed and the customer is migrating to AIX 4.3. The AIX
installation utilities may show them as possible installation images but you
cannot install DCE/DFS from these images. You must install DCE from the
media that DCE ships on and not the AIX CD 1 media.
<P><B>Minimum Required Levels of DCE 2.2 on AIX
4.3:</B> Some optional DCE 2.2 filesets must be
installed at or above certain levels in order for DCE to be functional on AIX
4.3.2. or higher. The filesets and minimum levels
are:
<PRE>dce.client.dfs.rte 2.2.0.2
dce.dfs_server.rte 2.2.0.2
dce.dfsnfs.rte 2.2.0.2
dce.edfs.rte 2.2.0.2
</PRE>
<P>These upgrades are necessary for the DCE Distributed File System to work on
an AIX 4.3 system. If DFS is started on an AIX 4.3
machine without these upgrades, the machine may eventually crash.
<P>For customers using the DCE Distributed File System (DFS) for AIX,
migrating an existing AIX system to AIX 4.3 will automatically upgrade
the following filesets if they exist on the system:
<PRE>DCE Client Services dce.client.core.rte 2.2.0.2
DCE Security Services dce.security.rte 2.2.0.2
DCE DFS Client Services dce.client.dfs.rte 2.2.0.2
DCE DFS Base Server dce.dfs_server.rte 2.2.0.2
DCE Enhanced DFS dce.edfs.rte 2.2.0.2
DCE NFS to DFS Authenticating Gateway dce.dfsnfs.rte 2.2.0.2
</PRE>
<P>Also, beginning with AIX Version 4.2.1, the DCE Distributed
File System (DFS) for AIX no longer supports the use of the DFS fileset backup
and restore utilities with JFS filesystems exported to DFS
<P>The DFS backup and restore utilities are as follows:
<UL>
<LI>The <B>fts</B> commands (<B>fts dump</B>, <B>fts restore</B>)
</LI><LI>The DFS Backup System (the <B>bak dump</B>, <B>bak
restoredisk</B>, <B>bak restoreft</B>, and <B>bak
restoreftfamily</B> commands)
</LI></UL>
<P>If you export JFS data to DFS from an AIX 4.2.1 or later
system, the DFS commands to dump and restore this data will display the
following message:
<PRE>Error in <dump|restore>: The system call does not exist on this system
</PRE>
<P>This occurs even if you are running the DFS commands on earlier versions of
AIX. The critical point is the level of the AIX system on the DFS File
Server where the data is being exported to DFS.
<P>Use standard AIX backup and restore utilities to back up JFS data that is
exported to DFS.
