Re: AIX 5L on 43P upgrade from 433ML10 DEVICE ISSUES?

Finally, we found the cause of the problem.

"oslevel" by itself reports (incorrectly?) that everything is fine:
$ oslevel
5.1.0.0

BUT-
There were actually filesets still at 4.3.3:

$ oslevel -rl 5100-01 [i didn't know this option before ]

Fileset Actual Level Recommended
ML

bos.dlc.8023 4.3.3.75 5.1.0.10

bos.dlc.ether 4.3.3.75 5.1.0.10

devices.base.rte 4.3.3.50 5.1.0.10

devices.common.IBM.ssa.diag 4.3.3.75 5.1.0.10

devices.common.IBM.ssa.rte 4.3.3.75 5.1.0.10

devices.isa.cxia.com 4.3.3.75 5.1.0.10

devices.ssa.disk.rte 4.3.3.75 5.1.0.10

I ran an "update_all" from the 5L source and it fixed the device issues.
PERL was then broken, but an "update_all" to 5L-ML3 fixed that.

THANKS to all for the suggestions,

maybe try
diag -a
in addition to the rmdev - commands and reboot
did you check the corresponding filesets? devices.pci.yourcardnumber*

Subject: AIX 5L on 43P upgrade from 433ML10 DEVICE ISSUES?
Hi-
I've tried a couple times now to:
         upgrade a 43P from AIX 433ML10 to 5L
         using a "migration install"
The install completes without errors, but after login, both ent0 and
ent1 are in a "defined" state. I can run:
        cfgmgr -vl ent0 (ent1)
        or mkdev -l ent0
and the adaptesr become available and work fine for network traffic.
However, after rebooting, the adapters are again "defined". The cdrom is
completely missing now from "lsdev -C | grep cd"
I've tried removing en0, en1, ent0, ent1 using "rmdev -dl"  and then
re-creating the network interfaces.  However, everytime I reboot the box
the adapters are back to defined instead of available.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
thanks,
-pablo
