On the R1 side (EMC srdf) everything works fine but on the R2 side while I can see the luns uing syminq all other commands fail - symcfg discover gives - The Symmetrix configuration could not be loaded for a locally-attached Symmetrix It appears to be a storage side config issue to me but I...

The "possible break in attempt" message could be due to a reverse dns lookup problem.

The place where I work at, selinux is turned off by default and is part of their build. Somehow it was turned on on this particular server.

The problem was selinux was turned on, once I disabled it things started working.

I've set up a samba server with a share with directories and files that should be readable by anyone. I can see all the directories/subdirectories but cannot see any files. If I create a new subdirectory it's visible but if I create a file it's not. I've tried changing permissions/ownerships...

The master is Windows and the netbackup admin is not very knowledgeable so I took the easy way out.

Found the answer by googling. Had to delete /usr/openv and reinstall, apparently the problem was caused by an earlier attempt by someone to install netbackup server on this host.

I'm trying to install netbackup client 7.5 on a redhat 5.8 server which already has nb client 7.0 installed on it. I have the the 3 client s/w zip files which I've combined and unzipped/untarred - NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS. When I run the install script it comes up with a menu with a selection of...

I'm not a aix or vio guru, more of a Solaris guy. I have a frame with 2 vio servers and a few client lpars. Recently the frame was moved to a new network as the old one was running out of ips. The problem surfaced after the move and I've more or less confirmed that the connections to oen vio...

tried that several times..doesn't make a difference.

/dev/mpath has the wwn listing not the alias listing. The /var/lib/multipath/bindings file seems to have a partial listing of the drives in wwn format.

I have a oel server on which we have san storage. I'm using lvmdiskscan to see the drives. Initially the storage up shows up with wwn numbers like this - /dev/mpath/yyyy0097000019260314853303030xxx After adding an alias to /etc/multipath.conf multipath { wwid...

One of our servers was recently provisioned with 88 luns. This is on SRDF - R1/R2. The R1 side is fine I can see both paths in powerpath for all luns. On the R2 side some luns (around 36) show single paths. Solaris (format) shows both paths. These are the commands I tried - powercf -q powermt...

By default it's set to auto/auto which is correct if you are using GigE. But if you are using 100/full (switch port is set to 100/full) you should change your config in bge.conf to 100/full. You can try these commands to see if the port sets to full - ndd -set /dev/bge0 adv_autoneg_cap 0 ndd...
