APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • With AIX 61 TL8 or AIX 71 TL and upwards, customer may
    see syslog filled with "getnetconfigent failed" if
    automount is used and there is no IPv6 interface present.
    
    May 23 06:54:01 daemon:err|error automountd[5177518]:
    getnetconfigent failed
    
    The error is not necessarily a result of failed
    getnetconfigent() as a merely missing IPv6 interface can
    cause it.
    

Local fix

  • Create an IPv6 interface
    

Problem summary

  • Customer could see "GETNETCONFIGENT FAILED" message flooding
    syslog, while working with AUTOFS mount points.
    

Problem conclusion

  • syslog will not log unwanted error message "GETNETCONFIGENT
    FAILED"
    

Temporary fix
