APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Following error will be seen,
  "validation was failed during previous find_devices.
  rc = 83 MIG_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND"
  

Local fix

• Recreate the CM_DB database.
  1) Stop the vio_daemon with stopsrc command
  $ oem_setup_env
  # /usr/bin/stopsrc -s vio_daemon
  2) Wait 300 seconds or until vio_daemon has stopped.
  Check if the vio_daemon has stopped with
  # lssrc -a |grep vio_daemon
  # ps -eaf |grep vio_chgmgt < this process should not exist
  either
  # /usr/sbin/slibclean
  # rm -rf /home/ios/CM
  3) Then start the vio_daemon with startsrc command
  # /usr/bin/startsrc -s vio_daemon -a '-d 4'
  4) Make sure that vio_chgmgt is also started
  # kill -1 <PID of vio_daemon>
  5) Wait for 5 minutes, make sure that the postgres
  process exists.
  # sleep 300 ; ps -eaf | grep post
  

Problem summary

• After uppdating to VIOS 3.1.1.21, VMRM validation may fail in
  find_devices due to a problem working with the VIOS database
  related to the "managed_disk" column.
  .
  This is a new column added in 3.1.1.21.  The database should
  have been rebuilt as part of the update, but the update script
  was not packaged with the PTF.
  

Problem conclusion

• Package the update script with the devices.vtdev.vscsi.rte PTF.
  

Temporary fix
