Subject: PSSP Problem running setup_server: missing lppsource

I'm doing a Disaster Recovery test at the moment.
Last time I ran this, my CWS was at AIX 5.1. Now, it's AIX 5.2 ML07.

I've restored my CWS from a mksysb and completed all the
re-configuration.
When I run setup_server, though, it fails. It's complaining that
there's no AIX 5.1 lppsource directory:
mknimmast: 0016-246 The directory
"/spdata/sys1/install/aix510/lppsource"
does not exist on the control workstation.

Well, it's quite right: that directory does not exist and I have no idea
why it should! All of the nodes are still at AIX 4.3.3. I've checked
the node data using splstdata and that correctly shows them as AIX
4.3.3. I've also been through the existing NIM resources and can't find
any which refer to this directory.

Can anybody suggest where the problem lies and/or how to get around it?


The basic recovery procedure I've used so far is:
Restore from mksysb.
Sundry minor bits of re-configuration.
Delete all existing frames
install_cw
Add back the frames for the DR site
Add appropriate node data
Remove pre-existing NIM information
setup_server

I've been doing this for years and although I've had loads of problems
in that time, this is a new one.
