You attempt to set up Domino 6.x on AIX but receive the following error:
"Warning: Your system is not configured with I/O Completion Ports. I/O Completion Ports must be installed in order to run the Domino 6 Server. Install and make available I/O Completion Ports and restart your system."

This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# SHOY5HVPD5 and was indirectly fixed in 6.0.2.
To avoid the error, follow these steps:
1. Verify whether a file set is installed; from the Unix command line, type:
lslpp -l <filesetname> (for example, lslpp -l bos.iocp.rte)
2. Verify whether an APAR is installed; from the Unix command line/prompt, type:
instfix -ivk <APAR number> (for example, instfix -ivk IY23157)
3. After downloading the proper file set, or loading the OS CDs, install the file set bos.iocp.rte via SMIT (System Management Interface Tool). From the command line, type:
smitty installp select: Install and Update from LATEST available Software >> input device / directory for software (input location of file set)
4. To install an APAR, from the Unix command line, type:
smitty installp, select: Update Software by Fix (APAR) >> input device / directory for software (input location of APAR)
5. To configure I/O Completion Ports, from the Unix command line, type:
smitty iocp, select >> Change/Show Characteristics of I/O Completion Ports >> STATE to be configured at system restart >> change from "define" to "available"
6. After installing the IOCP code, you need to make the IOCP device available. You can do this one of two ways:
(a) After completing Step 5 to define the STATE to be configured at system restart, you can reboot AIX, or
(b) You can select the other choice in the SMITTY IOCP menu; i.e., Configure Defined I/O Completion Ports, and then press "Enter" to change device from "Defined" to "Available".
Alternately, you could complete the same step by directly issuing the AIX command
Domino does not distinguish from code not being installed and the device not being made available. So, if you install the code and leave the device in a defined state, it appears the same to Domino as if the code were not installed. You can check the state of any IOCP devices by issuing the AIX command lsdev -Cc IOCP (root access is not required for lsdev commands).
NOTE: The user must be logged in as root in order to install file set, APARs, and to configure I/O completion ports.
Supporting Information:
From the Release Notes:
 AIX IOCP and patch requirements
AIX IOCP and patch requirements
Domino 6 requires that you enable IOCP on AIX systems; the earlier R5 release of Domino did not have that requirement. In addition, the following AIX patch levels are required:
AIX 4.3.3 - Maintenance Level 9
xlC.aix43.rte 5.0.0.6 C C Set ++ RunTime for AIX 4.3
bos.iocp.rte 4.3.3.76 A I/O Completion Ports API
4.3 APAR for this fix is IY23157. This will bring bos.iocp.rte to a level of 4.3.3.76.
AIX 5.1
xlC.aix50.rte 5.0.2.0 COMMITTED C Set ++ RunTime for AIX 5.0
bos.iocp.rte 5.1.0.11 COMMITTED I/O Completion Ports API
5.1 APAR is IY22656. This will bring bos.iocp.rte to a level of 5.1.0.11.
In addition, the following AIX patch levels are required:
IY21149 - AIX kernel patch
AIX 5.2
ML1 patch broke fork/exec, and patch PTF 486444 fixes it.
AIX 5.3
PTF IY58691*
PTF IY58143
* With PTF IY58691, also upgrade bos.net.nis.client to version 5.3.0.10 if NIS is installed on the system and NIS is not at this level (or higher) after this PTF is installed.
NOTE: If running AIX 5.1 in 64-bit mode, make sure you install bos.iocp.rte 5.1.0.16 or later. This file set, as well as the APARs mentioned in this Technote, can be downloaded from HTTPS://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.fdc. There is a known issue that can cause Notes clients to receive "Server not responding" errors from the Domino server. This has been reported to Lotus Software Quality Engineering via SPR #SHOY5HVPD5 and is addressed by IBM AIX APAR IY29475. |
