location of patch IY26778

Hi,

I am trying to locate and download the AIX patch IY26778, for 5.3.

I tried searching the ibm sites
...
Also tried
IBM - Download Driver finder - United States
with no joy

Can anyone who has located this patch before direct me to the correct url.

many thanks,
Michael.

You cannot download it, because it is a fix for the bos.adt.lib package in AIX 5.1 ML01 which reached the end of its support cycle in 2006. For AIX 5.1 the latest maintenance level (ML09) plus a pack of post-ML09-support packages are available for download at Fix Central.

Without having checked it: most probably the fix is included in one of the post-ML01 maintenance levels and by installing these you don't have to worry about it.

I suppose you want to install Oracle 9 RAC, right? Install a better OS base in this case, you won't get any support for AIX 5.1.

From the number it seems far too low for AIX 5.3 so I googled and it seems to be an AIX 5.1 APAR.

AIX 5.1 is out of support so you can only download the latest ML and post ML fix pack.

HTH.
