TL Migration Corruption

Hello,

I have migrated my server from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1. After migration I was not able to login using putty. I have logged into the server from console and looks like some routes were missing.

Does TL migration delete routes, What happens exactly in the TL migration ..I only know that during the migration only the installed filesets are migrated to 6.1 and that too only filesystem that is affected is /usr

Thanks

When you say you are not able to login with putty, are you getting a connection and login prompt or not?

putty uses ssh for which the config information resides in /etc/ssh. If you no longer have that directory after the AIX upgrade, you will have to put it back from a backup.

If you do a ps -ef | grep ssh, or lssrc -g ssh , does it show that ssh is running?

Yes for some reason my ssh was off I have used startsrc to start and it worked ..
But does the migration change any routes, or does it touch the ODM .

So how are the routes added permamently, Like how do I check if a route is permanent or temporary..

Thanks

To make a route permanent you can add the the command to the /etc/rc.net file
route add -net 192.168.2.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

or use smit as root
smit
-> Communications applications and Services
-> TCIP/IP
-> Further Configuration
-> Static Routes
-> Add a Static Route
And type in the new static route settings.
