During the upgrade process one of the executable(ovc) is run to perform some operation, when 'ovc' executable is run upgradation fails with the below error message:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/lpp/OV/bin/ovc because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libOvXpl.so could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libOvXpl.so.
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.


exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/lpp/OV/bin/ovc because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libOvSecCore.so could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libOvSecCore.so.
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.


"libOvXpl.so" and "libOvSecCore.so" are shared libraries which are present under '/usr/lpp/OV/lib' directory. Usually the library search path for a executable can be seen in entry 0 in the ImportFile Strings section of the loader header(Refer the below link for more inforamtion).

Below is the "dump -Hv" of the ovc executable:

# dump -Hv /usr/lpp/OV/bin/ovc

From the above output we can see that entry 0 in the ImportFile Strings section contains "/usr/lpp/OV/lib" directory were "libOvXpl.so" and "libOvSecCore.so" shared libraries are present but even then upgradation fails with the error mentioned above.

Could someone please help me on this.

Thanks & Regards,
