Re: [nv-l] MLM and AIX

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

I don't mean to butt in, but the MLM
guy says he does not know of this problem.  And he is very confused
about why you would attempt to install a down-level MLM with NetView 7.1.4.
   

The MLM that ships with NetView 7.1.4
is MLM 7.1.4, and if you install it on AIX with installp that works fine,
I'm told.   
Remember that MLMs have to be updated
separately from NetView.  Installing  a NetView FixPack does
nothing to the MLM that is installed on the NetView box, nor on any other.


If you have trouble installing MLM 7.14
on AIX 5.1 or 5.2 you should open a problem to Support, so it can be properly
diagnosed and fixed.

Subject	Re: [nv-l] MLM and AIX

 From memory, the problem with later versions
of MLM on AIX 5.1  is that 
the install script for MLM doesn't understand the concept of AIX 5.1.  I
know I have hacked this install script and installed the latest MLM code
on AIX 5.1.  The script to hack is /usr/OV/bin/smmlm_smit, somewhere
around line 145.

That's a technical answer.  Now whether it is SUPPORTED or not............

Cheers,
Jane

PS. I have just installed NetView 7.1.4 Fixpack 1 and there is no change
to this in the Fixpack.
