Yes this was in /etc/rc.
According to the instructions my client received from IBM, IBM said NOT to put
any startup commands in /etc/rc. If any of them fail, especially if output is
directed to /dev/console, the boot process will stop. Add to the
/etc/inittab an entry
similar to:
local:2:wait:/etc/rc.local 2>&1 | alog -tboot > /dev/console
Create /etc/rc.local, chmod 554, and add local start-up commands to it.
After telling my client this they then suggested to investigate a possible ADSM
bug.
Hope this helps. I'm a real novice when it comes to AIX.
