AIX 5.3 native MPIO
Seacros, sorry for the late posting. I had this same issue a year or two ago. Storage Tek had provided us MPIO ODM device drivers and after installation it worked great. Hope this helps. -
Micropartiontiong
There is some validity to the issue of the VAR recommending more physical hardware instead of the Virtualization for complexity issues. VIO can get complicated if you are new to it but it will save you thousands of dollars from not having to purchase the extra hardware. If you are in a time... -
Micropartiontiong
If you use a 4-way P550 then it should have enough processing power to do what you are asking. However, when using VIO servers (LPAR) it is best to have a minimum of at least two per physical machine. One of the main reasons is that it provides your virtual disks for each LPAR. In the case of... -
Micropartiontiong
If you opt for the 2.1Ghz processor version of the 520 then you should be fine. What helps with sizing servers is the Rperf value - in this case IBM doesn't supply the Rperf value for the H50's and the closest one is the H80. An example: H80: 1 processor - Rperf=.93 H80: 2 processor -... -
console problems
Just curious on what you have set for your baud rate. If I remember correctly the Power5 machines run at 19200 for their serial connections. -
Verify good bootimage on rootvg
We also run "ipl_varyon -i" to double-check with disks are bootable. Regards, Jarrett IBM Certified Systems Expert pSeries HACMP for AIX 5L IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert for AIX 5L and pSeries -
Creating additional LPAR
Mohmin, Although there is an option to make a copy of a LPAR profile, you really need to document what resources your current LPAR is using and what resources are available for use. There are several PDFs available on www.redbooks.ibm.com for creating LPARs, etc. Hope this helps. Jarrett IBM... -
High paging in 5.2, not seen in 5.1
Can you post the ouput of vmo -L and ioo -L Jarrett -
VIO server install from NIM
I used this link to install the VIO server from NIM and it works great. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2s/en_US/index.htm?info/iphb1/iphb1_vios_configuring_installnim.htm Jarrett -
5.3 upgrade hung at 0518
It may be stuck on a mount point for the logical volumes. Check the /etc/filesystems file to make sure it is correct. Jarrett -
How to duplicate a virtual scsi client ?
I just went through the training for the Power5 last week. I asked the same question and the result was that you had to install either by CD or NIM. Regards, Jarrett CATE -
bosboot command
You can also use "ipl_varyon -i" to determine which disks are bootable. Regards, IBM Certified Systems Expert pSeries HACMP for AIX IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert for AIX 5L and pSeries -
download GPFS for AIX 5.x and HACMP 5.1
GPFS is a separate licensed product from IBM. Regards, Jarrett IBM Certified Systems Expert pSeries HACMP for AIX IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert for AIX 5L and pSeries -
error: parameter list is too long
As mentioned above, I too pipe things into a while read loop. However, you can adjust the ARG/ENV list. Here are the steps: smitty System Environments Change / Show Characteristics of Operating System ARG/ENV list size in 4K byte blocks [6] Be careful because setting it too... -
TCPIP Setup
First thing to do is while you are on the new server from the console is to telnet to itself. If it works, than you know that there isn't a problem with the ports running. Try that first and then post back and let us know. -
TCPIP Setup
It sounds like you might have a DNS issue on the new server. If you have configured DNS "/etc/resolv.conf" on the new server, than make sure you have created a "/etc/netsvc.conf" file with "hosts=local,bind" inside of it. The new server will try to resolve the remote connections. Hope this... -
Binding NICs or Passive/Active NICs
If you are utilizing cisco switches, than "Cisco Etherchannel" maybe an option for you. It comes with AIX and you can group multiple adapters together and share one ip address. It increases throughput but also gives you redundancy in case an adapter fails. Jarrett IBM Certified Systems Expert... -
HACMP
At this point it is hard to tell exactly where your bottleneck is but I suspect that its either your IO or your memory is not tuned. You should installed bos.adt.samples fileset which will give you the vmtune option. This does not require a reboot. Since there is about 1 Gb swapped to... -
HACMP
Ok... not sure if the output of the current vmstat reflects the whole picture (was this run during a slow period). You are correct in that it appears that there is a lot of cpu activity and low disk usage. Could you submit the following. lsps -s iostat 2 /usr/samples/kernel/vmtune (you said...
