This is just for info really and following on from a thread of last week:

We tried to upgrade to Universe 11.1.0 at the weekend.
The first time that we tried we had an unreadable file in the download that Rocket supplied to our U2 Support company. This time the file was OK so that was a step forward but we had some problems with the install not being able to find a couple of items and not offering us the licence screen so we decided to roll it back.
We did this by restoring the usr/ibm account.
This however did not work and we got this error message when trying to start Universe.

   Couldn't start UVSMM. Please check /usr/ibm/uv/uvsmm.errlog"
   UniVerse is NOT started

The error log contained this:

   #more /usr/ibm/uv/uvsmm.errlog
   Message[DBS0047]
   uvsmm.errlog: END

which was not the most helpful and wouldn't Google at all !

SMM is something which comes in with release 11 so since we had restored to release 10.13.... we were a tad surprised to see it.

What had happened was that the upgrade (quite early on from the timestamp) had overwritten the Universe start up script uv.rc (ours
resides in /etc)

So we had to restore that and inittabuvbak (which had also been overwritten)

After that we we OK.

It took ages to work out that it was the uv.rc override that stopped us simply restoring the account and carrying on, I am hoping that this email means others won't have to spending their time on it.
