Error description
If EXTSHM=ON or EXTSHM=MSEG is set, then the restore/restbyname command may fail with error message such as: restore: 0511-110 There is an unpacking error. restore: 0511-708 There is an internal unpacking error: decode failure restore: 0511-121 Out of space. Or: restore: 0511-147 Unpacking file size error. The original size of ./usr/lpp/bos/bos.rte.shell/ 6.1.8.15/liblpp.a is 352990; restored size is 6153. restore: 0511-708 There is an internal unpacking error: decode failure restore: 0511-107 Cannot read from pipe. There is an unpacking error. : A specified file does not support the ioctl system call. Two situations where this issue has been seen are when using 'mkwpar' to create a 5.2 Versioned WPAR on a 7.1 system, and when doing an alt_disk_copy of a 6.1 system.
Local fix
unset EXTSHM before any command that may call restore, such as mkwpar and alt_disk_copy
