Hi All, I want to create a virtual SCSI adapter in a VIOS partition, but I don't want to use HMC GUI. What HMC CLI commands can accomplish this? Thanx in advance. ---

@PHV, Thanks a lot, works great! :)

Hi All, Here's the task: The contents of a text file is like this: this is a string 55 and some other text I want to replace every occurence of a newline character and the string "55". So whenever there is "55" starting a line, the preceding newline character should be replaced with a...

Hi All, I'm experiencing problems with routing on Solaris 10u8, sun4u. The traffic to the global zone fluctuates, i.e. enters with one interface, and exits with another (after some time), thus breaking the session. There are 3 zones running, out of which one was migrated from another machine...

Hi All, I'm trying to create a SPOT from an mksysb image of AIX 5.3. The NIM server's oslevel is 7100-01-04-1216. Here's what happens: # nim -o define -t spot -a server=master -a location=/home/spot -a source=apsdb-aix53 apsdb_aix53_spot Creating SPOT in "/home/spot" on machine "master"...

Hi All, I want to create an LV, but end up with the following error: # mklv -y mylv01 -e x -t jfs2 myvg01 736G 0516-404 allocp: This system cannot fulfill the allocation request. There are not enough free partitions or not enough physical volumes to keep strictness and satisfy...

Hi All, I'm looking for a simple/fast way to display or dump an entire VIOS configuration. The situation is this: An IBM contractor has set up our whole environment, but he's left already. I'd like to understand all nuances of the configuration of both VIOS and LPARs, especially with regard...

Yes, that is true. I've also heard I can export and import the vg to have those filesystems added to /etc/filesystems. Haven't tried that yet, but surely will. --

Hi All, After a reboot of an AIX 6.1 host (LPAR), the filesystems I previously mounted are not mounted anymore. There is no information about those fs in the /etc/filesystems file. So I have 2 questions: (1) Is there a command that can add manually mounted filesystems to the /etc/filesystems...

Hi All, As in the title. What to use? I have a 2-node cluster (SC 3.2) with latest update of Solaris 10 running. There are 20 Oracle databases running on both nodes, and the used filesystem is VxFS. The goal is to provide IO utilization statistics over a 14-day period. I tried to use vxstat...

Thanx blarneyme for your comments. I must clear out one thing: I am very far from being paranoid about Solaris zones security, and in fact I'm very skeptical as to my friend's claims. Yet I wanted to ask the Forum if there has ever been any confirmed example of zone break (which I doubted from...

Hi All, A friend of mine has suggested recently that since the Solaris zone feature relies on software-level isolation (as opposed to hardware-level isolation, as with AIX LPARs), then it is theoretically possible to break out of the local zone to the global zone. My question is: has anything...

Thank you all, especially Laurie. I do understand the basic concepts of IPMP, but I couldn't figure out why the entire IPMP group would fail, if the other can connect to the router with no problems, and both groups are in the same VLAN. However, my innate laziness prevented me from looking in...

BTW, the IPs from the failed group are not usable, i.e. I cannot ssh via those interfaces.

Hi All, What does it mean that all interfaces from a given IPMP group are in state FAILED? How can I enable them? e1000g0: flags=9040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 10.42.69.20 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.42.69.255...
