Nancy - It sounds like the client system was up and running the HSM
        client code when the client was upgraded - which is a bad thing
to do.  The installation apparently planted new HSM code and then tried
to load and run it - which could not succeed because of the prevaiing,
old kernel extension.

In that system you will likely see /etc/inittab with an entry for
starting HSM (ADSM Spaceman) by invoking /etc/rc.adsmhsm .
That did the kernel extension load when the AIX system was booted,
via 'installfsm -l ...'.  You can query by invoking with the -q
option, and unload the kernel extension via -u.

HOWEVER: Depending upon the level of the AIX system, it may not support
the HSM client you are trying to install.  Review the configuration to
decide how to proceed.  Your install may have displaced the original
software, including /etc/* ingredients.  Proceed carefully so that the
data in the HSM file systems will be accessible once things are resolved.
