Hi,

AIX is 4.3.3

I have the following strange problem: I cannot change Asynch I/O
parameters or system parameters with smit. smit returns an error message
and in smit.log I can find the following:

Object class: sm_cmd_opt,
id = "chgaioCmdOpt", id_seq_num = "030",
name = "State of fast path"

Command_to_Discover follows:
lsattr -l aio0 -E -O

1800-091 Format error ("#" missing) in output
from the Command_to_Discover:
"".

(The Command_to_Discover is:
"lsattr -l aio0 -E -O ".)

If I launch "lsattr -El aio0" it returns nothing although lsdev -C shows

aio as available.

Similar effect is on smit chgsys.

What is wrong or how can I correct this problem?

Many thanks in advance

Best regards

Problem solved. Empty /usr/sbin/lsattr.

That would be really interesting to know. Our customer says he does not
know and he did not do anything (????).

My bet would be some variation of "# > /usr/sbin/lsattr"

sounds like a good case for installing sudo ?

Right. But my feeling says it was caused by the "system administrators"
themselves. And there is nothing you can do about that - except ... (but
you would be mentionned in the newspapers then).
