APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
AIX 6 and 7 introduced a pseudo file system for performance called AHA. Currently, when SRAs are deployed onto AIX hosts with that FS enabled, TPC issues a warning for that host. However, that FS should be ignored and handled like other pseudo file systems ( e.g. /proc file system on Linux ).
Local fix
Upgrade to the latest version containing the fix.
