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.

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...

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...

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 -...

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.

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

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...

Can you post the ouput of vmo -L and ioo -L Jarrett

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

It may be stuck on a mount point for the logical volumes. Check the /etc/filesystems file to make sure it is correct. Jarrett

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

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

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

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
