George,
The /tmp/update.log reports snmpget fails in the install. One of the reasons given is nvsecd is not running. I try to run the snmpget with nvsecd stopped and it fails with permission denied. This is not the behavior I see on my other servers.

Frankly - I'm out of ideas now.

Thanks,

Check /usr/OV/security/cmds for unsecure versions of the snmp utility which run without the nvsecd daemon active.
Specifically, there is a snmpget_unsecure command.

Why do you think the problem is security related?


Regards,
Geo.

I think the problem is NetView security related. Should I be able to run snmpget with security off and the nvsecd down? This will only work if nvsecd is running. nvauth -login works and reports security is off.

I did a similar upgrade but my platform was AIX 5.1 - no problems. Have you checked that you have the AIX 5.2 prereq and that you are running the correct version of the snmpd as doc'ed in the Release Notes?
Cheers,
Jane

Hello Everyone.

NV 7.1.3 on AIX 5.2 -
I'm trying to upgrade to 7.1.4 via the Framework installation method. The install gets to nearly the end and then fails with errors. You can actually start most of the daemons except nvlockd. nvlockd fails because the /etc/services does not have any NetView services anymore. I run all the checks before installation and I have even increased my NetView file system sizes to maximum possible size but I still get the following error:

Something went wrong:
Media Packet:  "/cdrom/FILE33.PKT"
tnvlab01:FAILED (soft error) .......

Here are the last few lines of the the /tmp/update.log:
* Running customize script for fileset OVXMPAPI-MAN.
      *   Making links....
      * Running customize script for fileset IBMVA-RUN.
