How to Verify Application of Patch 2896876 (rootpre.sh) on AIX 5L

PURPOSE
-------
This article documents the output of running the rootpre.sh on AIX 5L from patch
2896876, how to verify it was run successfully, and the valid entry in the
/etc/inittab file.

SCOPE & APPLICATION
-------------------
This document is useful for DBAs and System Administrators applying patch 2896876
on AIX 5L to run 8.1.7 32-bit Oracle Server in 64-bit kernel mode.

How to verify 'rootpre.sh' was successful on AIX 5L
--------------------------------------------------
The patch 2896876 contains several files that are copied to the /etc directory.
This includes the 'loadext' command and both 32-bit and 64-bit kernel extensions.
The following output is from AIX 5L running in 64-bit kernel mode.

1) Running the rootpre.sh command

   Output will indicate the following:
   The kernel extension was successfuly loaded.

2) Verify files were copied to /etc:

     loadext
     pw-syscall
     pw-syscall.64bit_kernel
     pw-syscall4.1
     pw-syscall.32bit_kernel
     pw-syscall32
     pw-syscall64

3)  Verify the kernel extension is loaded:

     /etc/loadext -r

     Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX
     Copyright (c) 1998,1999 Oracle Corporation

     Kernel Extension Path: /etc/pw-syscall.64bit_kernel

     Kernel Extension Version: 3

     Extension /etc/pw-syscall.64bit_kernel found with kmid: 0x640db00

4)  Verify entry in /etc/inittab:

     orapw:2:wait:/etc/loadext -L /etc

Note:  The kernel extension will be dynamically loaded on server startup based
on the current bitness of the kernel.
