Error description
In AIX 7.1.2, a native wpar can be made with mkwpar using a mksysb file. An error occurs when the mksysb file is used as a backup device in the command: 1. mksysb -i /jworkfs/mksysb.71-02-02.small Create a mksysb from the running system. No problem. 2. mkwpar -l -t -B /jworkfs/mksysb.71-02-02.small -g datavg1 -n wpar1 Says: mkwpar: Extracting file system information from backup... mkwpar: 0960-355 Non-shared /usr and /opt file systems must be mounted read-write. And mkwpar fails here. The problem is reproducible. A straight mkwpar in the system works though, with same datavg, so the problem is when using the mksysb image: # mkwpar -l -t -g datavg1 -n wpar1 --- This works.
Local fix
Problem summary
Customer is not able to create wpar using mkwpar command when "-l" and "-B" options are specified
Problem conclusion
Added suitable check in wpar code such that mkwpar command should not fail before mksysb process actual File system information.
Temporary fix
