We were running TSM server version 5.2.2.4 on an AIX 5.1 machine. Yesterday we moved the TSM server to a new AIX machine running AIX 5.2. We installed TSM server version 5.2.2.4 on the new machine so the only difference was we are running AIX 5.2. We restored the TSM database to the new server and that went ok. We started the server and got message "ANR9613W error loading the ./dsmlicense for licensing function: Exec format error". At that point client nodes could not perform backups because of a licensing issue, ANR0439W was the message we were getting. I did a search on the message ANR9613W at IBM.COM and one of the hits was something about using a down level C library, xlc.rte 5.0.2.1. We are using xlc.rte 6.0.0.0 on the new aix machine. I decided to move the ./dsmlicense file from the old machine to the new machine and when I restarted the TSM server it came up without the error. Has anybody seen anything like this? Jim Sporer
Jim - From my programming notes:
Exec format error
Typically, you compiled a program on a system running at a higher
level of the operating system than the system on which you try to run
the program.
Unless the special measures are taken when a developer compiles an
application, the linker designates some libraries to be bound to the
application and loaded with the application only at run time. Many of
these libraries change from version to version on AIX. An application
compiled on one version of AIX will store pointers to the locations of
the functions in the dynamically bound libraries. If the compiled
application is moved to a different version of AIX, the functions will
not be at the address to which the pointers refer, and the system will
send an "Exec format error".My guess would be that the license file is inappropriate to that server.
