Hi,

Working on installing the Framework tool upon an F50/7025 running
AIX 4.2.1 I have observed the process failing during the "Distributing
Architecture Specific Server Database" stage.    The failure seems
to be first ocurring at line 252 of install.cfg ( Post Config script ).
No
"wlookup" attempts seem to be working ( ie. a screen-full of possible
reasons for why it may be failing is produced ).  Even "wlookup -a"
bears
no fruit.   We have done and seen different things, and it is only fair
in
asking for help to describe these things for you:-

    1. Upon initial install encountered a failure and attempted another
    2. Upon 2nd attempt the /tmp filesystem filled up and the install
        hung ( Note the cleanup approach used in point 33, below,
        was not used entirely in this instance )..
    3. Process for removing Framework to allow for re-installation:-

            cd /
            /etc/Tivoli/oserv.rc stop
            umount /tmp/tmeCDROM
            rm -r /usr/local/Tivoli
            rm -r /tmp/.tivoli
            rm -r /var/spool/Tivoli

    Is this inadequate to prepare the machine for re-installation of the

    Framework product.

    4. Things tried:-

            i. checked name resolution in conformance with install book
               - DNS based  - seemed OK
            ii. changed from simple encryption to none
            iii. changed server specification from intra domain
                convention to fully denoted on install panel.
            iv. tried with/without license key


We previously installed the Framework V3.2 product onto
a 570 AIX 4.2.1 machine with no problems.

Can someone help - this is a very frustrating problem.   Thanks,
