Operating Systems AIX Cannot uninstall powerpath - bosboot issues Post 302366090 by dukessd on Wednesday 28th of October 2009 08:03:50 PM

Hi zxmaus,

Unlucky 13 - must be Halloween coming up soon...

Tricky one, should EMC sort it out because it is their code misbehaving, or IBM because it is their OS, as you found each will say it is the others problem and in a way they are right.

Probably best is to push IBM AIX support, they should be able to tell you how to manually remove the fileset install information from the ODM (and fix the bosboot) which should allow you to install the later level OK BUT obviously this will come with no guarantee because they have no real way of knowing exactly what the EMC code might have done to the system integrity.

AFAIK IBM and EMC actually have a fairly good relationship at the higher levels of support and obviously in development of the EMC device drivers so if you can push your local AIX support to push it far enough up the support chain you are likely to get a good solution eventually.

I've seen a few cases where an uninstall of third party drivers goes wrong and it can usually be overcome with a bit of careful ODM manipulation but this is always best done under the direction of IBM support.
