    Hi Praveen,
    this is a known issue (now for me, because it happens to me ;-))
    See APAR IY42195.

    =================
    ~ WHO IS AFFECTED?
    ~ =================
    ~ This problem will ONLY affect customers
    ~ that migrate to AIX 5.1 or AIX 5.2 using
    ~ media released prior to the Maintenance
    ~ Level released in the first half of 2003.
    ~ TO DETERMINE if this fileset is intalled
    ~ on your AIX v4.3 system before migrating,
    ~ run the following command:
    ~ # lslpp -L bos.rte.bosinst
    ~ (verify that the level is 4.3.3.77 or higher)
    ~ ==========================
    ~ TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM
    ~ ==========================
    ~ After confirming that you have this
    ~ problem after migration, follow these steps
    ~ to correct it:
    ~ (you must be root)
    ~ 1) Fix ODM directory
    ~ # export ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos
    ~ 2) Make copies of existing ODM files
    ~ in case of error:
    ~ # cd /etc/objrepos
    ~ # mkdir /save_odm
    ~ # cp * ./save_odm
    ~ 3) Fix the ODM:
    ~ (observe the continuation character "" when
    ~ running the next command)
    ~ # LPP_ID=`LANG=C odmget -q name=bos.rte.bosinst
    ~ # odmdelete -q name=bos.rte.bosinst -o lpp
    ~ # odmdelete -q lpp_name=bos.rte.bosinst -o product
    ~ # odmdelete -q lpp_id=$LPP_ID -o history
    ~ # odmdelete -q lpp_id=$LPP_ID -o inventory
    ~ 4) Verify that it was fixed:
    ~ # lppchk -v
    ~ (should be clean)
    ~ # lslpp -l bos.rte.bosinst
    ~ (should show only a /usr part)

    Glück Auf
