8.0.2 fsdedupadm core dumps when triggered by Veritas Operations Manager (VIOM) discovery on AIX 7.2

Cause

The cause is thought to be that of the AIX operating system. However, until confirmed, please refer to the workaround detailed further below so that fsdedupadm can be disabled from running by VIOM discovery.

Solution

Whilst no solution exists at this time, the fsdedupadm functionality can be disabled from the VIOM discovery configuration. On the managed host in question:
first backup the /opt/VRTSsfmh/agentlet/VRTS/SF/S30fs.pm file (e.g. to .bak) and then amend the line in the /opt/VRTSsfmh/agentlet/VRTS/SF/S30fs.pm file from:
my $fDedupAvaliable=1;
to
my $fDedupAvaliable=0;

No further core dumps should arise.
