Customers may experience NFS mount failures with the following message after installation of the bos.net.nfs.client update at the 4.3.3.25 or 4.3.3.26 level.
1831-011 access denied
This problem can also cause NIM installation to fail with LED 611.
The 4.3.3.25 level update is included on the 10/2000 AIX Update CD, and in the 4330-05 Recommended Maintenance package. The 4.3.3.26 level update is included on the 11/2000 AIX Update CD, and in the 4330-06 Recommended Maintenance package.
This problem can be circumvented by removing the access= components from the lines in the /etc/exports file and then running exportfs -a.
The fix for this problem will be provided with APAR IY13656, which can be obtained from FixDist when available.
Communications Server for AIX, Versions 5 and 6, will fail to start on AIX 4.3.3 if the bos.rte.libc fileset is at the 4.3.3.17 or later level, and the sna.rte fileset is below the 5.0.4.2 level for CS/AIX V5, or below the 6.0.0.1 level for CS/AIX V6.
For failing levels, the /var/sna/sna.err file may contain the following errors:
CS/AIX V5: Unable to start the TN Server executable snatnsrvr_mt CS/AIX V6: error reading configuration: define_tn3270_ssl_ldap
The fix for this problem is available in one of the following Communications Server APARs.

The License Use Management Java Client Support (ifor_ls.jcs 4.3.3.25) install image included on the 10/2000 AIX 4.3.3 product media (CD# LDC4-0286-06) may fail to install with a message similar to the following:
Installing ifor_ls.jcs 4.3.3.25, got the following post_i script error:
The cause of the problem is currently being investigated. This document will be updated with additional details when available.
Customers may experience NFS timeout errors if one of the following fileset updates are installed.
bos.net.nfs.client 4.3.3.11 bos.net.nfs.client 4.3.3.12
The 4.3.3.12 level was included on the 4/2000 AIX Update CD that accompanies the AIX 4.3 media.
To resolve the problem, obtain the fix for APAR IY09175, which is available from FixDist.
When migrating to AIX 4.3.3 from earlier releases of AIX, systems with SSA adapters may experience a bosboot failure. The cause is a packaging error in the SSA install image. The error will be similar to:
0301-154 bosboot: missing protofile: /usr/lib/drivers/ssapin
The error only occurs if the devices.mca.8f97.com fileset is installed. You can determine if this fileset is installed using the command:
lslpp -L devices.mca.8f97.com
To prevent this failure from occurring, before migrating obtain the following
script and run it as root.
ftp://techsupport.services.ibm.com/aix/efixes/296702/ssa_pre_i.efix
Once the error has occurred, you can recover by reinstalling devices.common.IBM.ssa.rte with the force overwrite option.
When doing a migration to AIX 4.3 from a previous release of AIX, you must update filesets from all CD-ROM volumes. The initial migration installation only updates from volume 1. After the system is booted in normal mode, you should run smit update_all to update from the additional CD-ROM volumes. SMIT will prompt for the additional volumes as necessary.
The bos.perf.pmr fileset is down level after updating from the AIX 4.3.3 product media. This occurs only when updating AIX 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 systems, which already have the bos.perf.pmr fileset installed. The bos.perf.pmr fileset is obsolete in AIX 4.3.3 and should be removed.
The bos.crypto* and sysmgt.security* filesets are not included in the AIX 4.3.3.0 Maintenance Level since they contain encryption code that is subject to export restrictions. Updates to these filesets are available only on the AIX 4.3.3 Bonus Pack that is shipped with AIX 4.3.3.
If you are using the IBM HTTP Web Server software to serve the AIX Documentation Library services, the configuration process may not have worked correctly. To test the configuration, type the following command after you have completed the library service configuration process:
grep DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY /etc/environment
For a correctly configured system, grep should output the following line.
DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY=/usr/HTTPServer/htdocs
If the directory name is not the same as listed in the preceding line, complete the instructions below.
smit change_doc_search_server
Local web server cgi-bin DIRECTORY /usr/HTTPServer/cgi-bin Local web server HTML document directory /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs
APAR IY06658 for Soft5080 is required when running Soft5080 using the Xinerama extension to the X server.
lslpp -L devices.chrp.base.rteIf the devices.chrp.base.rte filesets are installed, the system architecture is likely CHRP. If this fileset is not installed, this problem cannot occur on your system.
To prevent this problem from occurring, install APAR IX79693, which is included in AIX 4.3.2, and also obtain the latest 4.3.2 diagnostics CD-ROM, P/N 08L1427 or 08L1430. Do not attempt to boot the system with earlier level diagnostics CD-ROMs or other media that contains a level of AIX earlier than 4.3.2.
Once this problem occurs, the only way to correct the condition is to power the system off, unplug the battery for approximately 10 minutes, plug in the battery and power the system back on.
1734-009 cannot write in FEPROMOnce this failure occurs, the system firmware is corrupt, and the system will no longer reboot. This problem affects SMP systems with 604e processors, including SP High Nodes. APAR IX84560 is currently available and should be installed prior to attempting a firmware update.

To disable the AIX JDK 1.1.8 JIT, modify the WebSphere admin.config file and replace the line:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.util.process.Nanny.adminServerJvmArgs=-mx128m
with the line:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.util.process.Nanny.adminServerJvmArgs=-mx128m -Djava.compiler=NONE
Secondly, any Application Server that is created will also require the JIT to be disabled. To accomplish this through the use of the WebSphere Administrative Console, add the following to the command line arguments field for the Application Server:
-Djava.compiler=NONE
The Admin Console does not require the JIT to be disabled. The procedure is only required for the Adminserver and any Application Servers.
When using a mksysb to clone a system which has had updates applied, you must update the target systems to at least the same update level as the system on which the mksysb was made. Failure to do so could result in an incompatible level of device support on the target system.
CHRP architecture systems cloned from non-CHRP architecture systems with updates applied may fail to boot due to incompatibilities between the updated kernel in the mksysb image and the base level devices.chrp.base.rte fileset installed during the cloning process. To circumvent this problem, install and update the devices.chrp.base.rte fileset on the non-CHRP system prior to creating the mksysb that will be used for cloning.
