lsdev errors - can't find info in predefined configuration database

[Joel Turoff]

Greetings!

We are running AIX 4.2.1.0 on an IBM RS-6000, model F-50.

I recently started getting the following error whenever I do an lsdev
-C. It is the first message that comes up.:

# lsdev -C
lsdev: 0514-521 Cannot find information in the predefined device
configuration database for the customized device .

I didn't exactly notice when this error started popping up and there
are two changes that were recently made about the time we started
seeing this error message.

First, I created a new logical volume, although this comes up in the
lsdev -C.

The only other change that I can think of was that we added a remote
printer by directly editing the /etc/qconfig file and killing and
restarting the qdaemon. The entry looks like:

lex1:
device = @167
up = TRUE
host = 167.28.57.87
s_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort
l_statfilter = /usr/lib/lpd/bsdlong
rq = prt1
@167:
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/rembak

I'd appreciate any insight into troubleshooting and resolving this
problem.

Many thanks in advance,

Joel Turoff

It sounds like you're missing an entry in either your PdDv or CuDv ODM files.
Try using odmget to see if you can find the details.
e.g.
odmget -q "name=@167" CuDv
