Has anyone ever had any problems deleting a Static Route from AIX4.3. It seems as though that ODM database also has to be updated when configuration changes are made, interfering with a seemingly trivial procedure......

As far as I know AIX, the best (and recomended) way to do any changes in environment is SMIT. Theoretically you may do this manually, modifying specific files, and probably it will work, but refering to your question, it may interferring with something. So, first thing - try to modify routing table in SMIT.

Good luck.

I always use SMIT for configuration changes. When I attempt to delete a Static Route, SMIT fails. The error seems to indicate that he can't locate the static route in the ODM database. I've heard and have been careful to enter the route in the delete command exactely as it was entered when created. The problem seems cronic, sometimes SMIT will delete sucessfully......ugh!
