I would prefer to handle this at the source to prevent accidents. We have several team members and if we could devise a way to do this that's relatively foolproof, that'd be a good thing.

AIX 7.1 is cluster aware, and it appears that the node configuration, including IP address is in the ODM, probably somewhere under /etc/obj/ es. If I exclude the ODM configuration, it might make things more complicated. Another thought I had was to encrypt the cluster communication and then...

Well yes, I could. I was hoping to stop this at the source to prevent accidents.

I put this question to AIX support and received a "that's not supported" answer. Anyone got a workaround for this issue? Seems pretty basic. Product or Service: POWERHA SYSTEMMIRROR V7.1 Technology Level1 7.1.1 ...

Two things stand out to me: 1) Is your etherchannel working correctly? Try pulling one of the NICs out of the etherchannel and run with one NIC. See if that helps. Some switches behave badly with etherchannel, and I haven't had much luck getting etherchannel to work across switches. This is...

Fixor'd. I found a copy of LCD4-1133-02, the 05/2003 pressing in the back of a cabinet. Funny quirk with this pressing: Each CD has a label of LCD4_1133_02_VOLUME1. But, it's complete. Now I have a clean full install of AIX 5.2. DukeSSD, you make a good point. The whole reason the client...

Thinking logically isn't helping the situation. 1) The client is a large government organization. 2) The client is vendor-locked into AIX 5.2 because that is the end-of-the-road in the application's support matrix. IBM has recognized that enough of its clients are in the exact position that...

I have two sets of install CD's for AIX 5.2, both of which are missing a single CD. This is very frustrating. I'm wanting to migrate our AIX 5.2L installations to WPARs under AIX 7.1, and I'd like to do a clean 5.2 install. The sets I have are the 11/2004 pressing, LCD4_1133_06, and the...

IBM have confirmed that this feature was not backported. Don't know why I thought that. Thanks for your help! Foo

Hi trifo, You've mentioned considering backup by inode but said you didn't know how to get savevg to do this. I didn't see it mentioned that the backup command does this. You don't get to pick and choose which files you back up - you need to do the entire filesystem. This command appears to...

Thanks, p5wizard. You're implying that I should be able to do this with my version of AIX. Here's what I got. root# lsvg foovg VOLUME GROUP: foovg VG IDENTIFIER: 00016b4e00004c0000000121d01a9795 VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 16 megabyte(s) VG...

This is such a newbie question. I can't reduce the size of a filesystem. I know that this was a feature added in AIX 5.3, but I thought I'd heard that this feature was added in 5.2 at TL 10. It's not working for me. I'm finding APARs for this not working for concurrent volume groups in 5.2...

I mean that only one adapter is active at a time. AIX etherchannel can do this. I didn't know that about cascading. Thanks for the tip.

I'm getting slightly different results that what you posted. I set MaxAuthTries 1 on my system and it worked properly. But the message I got was [foobar@tundra ~]$ ssh pei foobar@pei's password: Received disconnect from 10.1.1.12: 2: Too many authentication failures for foobar What...

You said switches (plural). You can't trunk across the switches. The best you can do is use the adapters in failover mode. I tried this on our p690s using a pair or Cisco 4507's and got pretty much the same results you did. I found entstat to be helpful in diagnosing the problems.
