In the output above, you'll notice that we are advised to check
the /etc/tunables/lastboot.log for a modified restricted vmo tuning
parameter. At this point I usually like to run the tuncheck command
against the current /etc/tunables/nextboot file and review its
output. As you can see, in the example below, we are warned that several
restricted tunables are not set to their default values. These values might not
be appropriate for your newly migrated AIX 7.1 (or 6.1) system. Settings that
worked well with 5.3 are most likely no longer appropriate with 7.1.
root: /apps/scripts :>tuncheck
-p -f /etc/tunables/nextboot
Warning: restricted tunable
strict_maxperm is not at default value
Checking successful

Based on the output above, the tuning for this newly migrated 6.1 system
appears to be inappropriate. Unless we have a valid reason (which has been
verified by IBM AIX support) we should set these tunables to their default AIX 6.1
settings.
You can reset individual tunables to their defaults using the –d flag
and the corresponding tuning command. For example to set the strict_maxperm % tunable
to its default you would run the following vmo command:
root:/etc/tunables :>vmo -p -d
strict_maxperm
Modification to restricted tunable strict_maxperm,
confirmation required yes/no yes
Setting strict_maxperm to 0 in nextboot
file
Setting strict_maxperm to 0
Warning: a restricted tunable has been
modified
|
After the tunables have been reset, re-run the tuncheck command
and ensure it runs without errors:
# tuncheck -p -f /etc/tunables/nextboot
Checking successful

i4llmd
This error is relational to i4llmd, we may check the error under /var/ifor/I4LLMD.log
GRL-2050: *** Fatal error from I4LLMD:
License database on an invalid node.
and the solution:
To solve the problem, do the following as the root user on the partition that produced the error message:
1.
export
PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/ifor/ls/os/aix/bin
2.
cd /var/ifor
3.
i4cfg -stop
4.
rm i4ls.ini *.dat *.idx
5.
i4cnvini
6.
i4cfg -a n -S a -n n -b
null
7.
i4cfg -start
Then, register the valid software product license again. In case of IBM C for AIX, Version 6.0, do the following (the /usr/vac/cforaix_cn.lic file is used for the concurrent node lock license):
i4blt -a -f /usr/vac/cforaix_cn.lic -T N -R "root"
Where N is the number of the license you are going to register, such as 2.
To confirm if the license has been successfully registered, use the i4blt command, as follows:
i4blt -s -lcn
i4blt Version 4.6.8.10 AIX -- LUM Basic License Tool
