Troubleshooting


Problem

AIX tar command is not able to uncompress CI0I7ML_OP6.0.1 media package

Symptom

The AIX default tar command is not able to uncompress the contents of the OP_6.0.1_Non_Embedded_DVD_1.tar.gz, due to "tar" problems related to long file names included.

When uncompressing the .tar file with tar -xvf OP_6.0.1_Non_Embedded_DVD_1.tar.gz the following error occurs:

x OP_6.0.1_Non_Embedded_DVD_1/OP_6.0.1_Configuration/Database/UPGRADE_SCRIPTS/InterstageBPM_dbupgrade
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; -252676160 not equal to 44916.
