Hi there,
I've just upgraded an AIX 5.3 box from 5.3.4.0 to the 5.3.4.3 client.
>From that moment, the Web-client wouldn't start, with an error message
that it was unable to start dsmagent.
Indeed, dsmagent wouldn't even start from the command line:
$ dsmagent
Could not load program dsmagent:
Dependent module libxmlutil-5.3.4.0.a could not be loaded.
Could not load module libxmlutil-5.3.4.0.a.
System error: No such file or directory
In /usr/lib, there is a symlink to libxmlutil-5.3.3.0.a (pointing to a
non-existant file), which is the wrong version. Manually creating a
symlink to libxmlutil-5.3.4.0.a fixes the problem.
Manually inspecting the install package reveals that this is a packaging
error (see the file tivoli.tsm.client.ba.32bit.web.inventory and search
for SYMLINK).
So, when you want to install 5.3.4.3 on AIX and want to use the
Web-client, prepare to make a symlink yourself. (I already reported
this to IBM)
