Problem Description =================== Service Director reports CHECKSTOP errors that are logged as TEMPORARY Hardware errors in the AIX error log. However, once APARs IX74686 (4.1) or IX74688 (4.2) are applied to a system, Service Director no longer reports the CHECKSTOP errors. Temporary Fix ============= The official fixes for this problem will be delivered in APARs IX75810 for AIX 4.1, and IX75812 for AIX 4.2. To fix this problem prior to the availability of the above APARs, use one of the 'diagela' programs in this directory. In these programs, a change has been made to 'diagela' to add a notify object to ODM that will invoke 'diagela' whenever a TEMPORARY Hardware CHECKSTOP error is logged. Installation ============ You must be logged in as 'root' in order to perform this procedure. Use the correct version of diagela for your AIX system level. If unsure of your system level, run the 'oslevel' command. o Copy the new version of diagela into /tmp. o Save the original version of diagela, using the commands: cd /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin cp -p diagela diagela.orig o Replace /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela with the new version using one of the following commands. Ensure that the .41/.42 is stripped off the diagela filename. mv /tmp/diagela.41 /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela OR mv /tmp/diagela.42 /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela o Ensure that the owner and permissions are correct. chown root.system /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela chmod 544 /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela o Once this file has been replaced, DISABLE then ENABLE diagela using the following commands: /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela DISABLE /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagela ENABLE
