Hi All I'm running a Sun 3.7.0 client to an AIX 3.1.2.50 server. The Sun box has several clients on it as it is part of a Veritas cluster and each application has its own adsm node, with a DSMC sched process for each clustered app and one for the machine. Whilst fixing something manually the other day, I started an application dsmc process and mistyped the name of the optfile. The dsmc process started but with the default options file. This strikes me as being a bug. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? does anyone else agree that specification of an optfile tha does not exist should produce an error?
