    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Running the IPVMKDIR fails while        *
    *                      creating and populating the server      *
    *                      working directory.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The IPVMKDIR job contains a shell rm command intended to clear
    the target directory before issuing other commands to create it.
    This command is in the wrong location in the script, resulting
    in a failure to create the directory and associated files.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The IPVMKDIR sample job has been updated to move the rm command
    ahead of other commands as intended.
