Netview v4/unable to configure the PMD daemon
Response:
ENV: AIX 4.1.x, NV 4.1 with U438904
When try to configure pmd daemon gets about 8 similar errors
/usr/OV/bin/filterlrf[740]: u: 0403-009 The specified
number is not va
This worked on version 2 and 3, but not on 4.
It turns out that U438904 causes a problem with the configuration of
the pmd daemon. This is a known problem and has been fixed. APAR
IX54136 this will be resolved on U440147 when it comes out.
Until then heres the workaround:
