Hi,

After reading "Using the AIX kernel debugger to investigate module
dependencies" I wanted to use the lke command to list the modules
belongig to a process.

But trying:
lke -p <pid>

gives only:
Struct proc paged out.

The only pid that works is the on of init:

(0)> lke -p 1
ADDRESS FILE FILESIZE FLAGS MODULE NAME

1 2FF3C584 D0047000 0002B4D5 00021740
shr_xpg5.o/usr/lib/libpthreads.a
2 2FF3C524 D0043000 000038B1 00001740
shr_comm.o/usr/lib/libpthreads.a
3 2FF3C4C4 D00730F8 0000086E 00001740 shr.o/usr/lib/libcrypt.a
4 2FF3C424 D01CE780 001F2092 00001740 shr.o/usr/lib/libc.a
5 2FF3C3C4 10000000 00008B91 00005242 init

So what must I do to page struct proc of a process in?

Use the Slot number .. NOT the PID ...

get the slot number from the process subcommand i.e. p *

The process id is in lower case hex, so if you want to find a
particular PID, convert it to hex then grep for it with the -i.

i.e. say PID=150612 which is 0x24C54 in hex, then do this

echo "p *" | kdb | grep -i 24C54
pvproc+049800 588 db2sysc ACTIVE 24C54 1F39C 09A3C 005D2 0005C3C5
65 0001

Your slot number is the 2nd col, so then do this to get loaded
extensions for slot 588

echo "lke -p 588" | kdb

Easy.... Hope this helps

_Very_ good. I missed that tiny detail, as I always check the
help msg (in kdb) to ensure my usage is correct.

Hope the original poster sees this and realizes it was just a UFU
on his part...

actually, i am going to correct myself on this one also...

The PID is in uppercase HEX in kdb, lowercase hex in crash (and
pstat)... as this is 5.1 and kdb no need for the -i on the grep, but
no harm, i always use it cos i havent been into crash or kdb much in
the last year or
