As far as the hci user, you can go into the .profile file in AIX and force the environment to /hci/root3.8.1P. The code should look like:
# Use this line to get the machine’s default root.
setroot
# Use this line to get a 2.1 (i.e., HCI-LINK) root (if installed)
# setroot /hci/hciRel_v2.1
#
# Modify this line to get a 3.0 (i.e., Cloverleaf) root
setroot /hci/root3.8.1P
We did the same thing, except for HA; a couple of months ago and we didn’t have any problems whatsoever.
I hope this helps.
