Error description
Environment: GPFS - 3.5.0.7 /home/jimbob> lspv mkdir: cannot access directory /var/mmfs/tmp. /var/mmfs/tmp: Permission denied mkdir: cannot access directory /var/mmfs/ssl. /var/mmfs/ssl: Permission denied /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlspv[29]: .[187]: .: /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmsdrfsdef.AIX: cannot open [Permission denied] hdisk0 00cb0ade89df311a rootvg active GPFS at 3.5.0.7 introduced this error message, which was prompted by switching from using ksh to their own mmksh.
Local fix
Change #!/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmksh back to #!/bin/ksh in /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlspv
Problem summary
With gpfs 3.5.0.7 or greater installed, when a non-root user runs the lspv command, errors will be generated as above. lspv is a suid program and internally calls gpfs mmlspv with effective uid of root. This causes mmlspv to fail.
Problem conclusion
Temporarily change euid in lspv to match uid just while we call mmlspv.
Temporary fix
