I would expect that only root or someone you have granted sudo rights to these commands would be running them. What users are you wanting to audit? A successful shutdown, halt, and reboot should be logged in the AIX error report. As for the unsuccessful ones I am not aware of a log for that...

Enter this at the command prompt when booted up in AIX 5.2. bootlist -m normal ent0 bserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx client=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hdisk0 Verify ent0 is the correct network interface, adjust as needed. Where bserver is the nim server IP, client is the IP of the client...

Yes it is possible. Justin

I believe you can share the tape drive through the VIO Server but I have never done it, so I can't be sure. However this is an excellent time to mention NIM (Network Installation Manger). You could create a pretty small lpar to use as a NIM server which has the ability to backup every AIX...

Odd, this just came up yesterday in my shop. There is a value in the sshd_config file called "RSAAuthentication". From my understanding that will allow key use when you have the root remote login disabled. I haven't tested yet so I could be wrong.

Here is how my permissions are setup. I am not doing sftp but ssh commands between servers without a password. Machine the commands are being run on. drwx------ 2 root system 512 May 05 10:05 /.ssh -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 599 Jul 09 2009 authorized_keys2...

If it's a DS8300 you are connected to, I think you need the 2107 drivers (devices.fcp.disk.ibm.rte). The sdd driver would be devices.sdd.61.rte. The filesets are what I am running on my AIX 6.1 server. devices.sdd.61.rte 1.7.2.0 COMMITTED IBM Subsystem Device Driver...

unprophete, I have received these errors many times during a mksysb restore or rte install from the nim server and if this is the case you can ignore these errors. However it sounds like you are getting these on a normal bootup which I have never seen. I believe you can just remove the...

I am not 100% sure of what you are asking. I will throughout a couple thoughts. df -m /mountpoint Shows you the space that the file system is consuming when mounted. That would be the file system that is mounted on top of the underlying directory. It will not show you the space usage...

I can't help you much as I am still at VIOS 1.5.x and don't have that command but from what I read thus far the viosbr command should create a tar/gzip file when it's finished. Such as <givenfilename>.tar.gz

What version of VIOS is currently running and what version was the NIM server at before you updated it?

I am not intending to highjack this thread but thought I would ask how do you varyon the rootvg VG? If the system is up doesn't the rootvg VG already have to be varied on. I don't know everything related to AIX that is why I am on this forum and asking this question. Does varyonvg do some...

What does "uname -s" show you? Looks like you can reset it to what you want with "uname -T AIX" Worked on my system anyway.

If you are talking about not wanting the password for certain accounts not to expire than set the maxage flag to 0 for that user in the /etc/security/user file. That is how I do it. maxage=0 I hope I understood your question.

I waited a couples days to respond in case someone knew the IBM recommendationed way. I don't know the official way but reading the Advanced Power Virtulization best practices redbook there are many references to user-definced devices such as storagepools, volume groups, and logical volumes...

I believe those are flags that sendmail was started with. If you have a man page for sendmail it should tell you what those mean or that is where I just found it anyway. -bd Starts the sendmail command as a daemon running in the background as a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol...

Read all about it. The best I can remember you are looking for priority path. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4194.pdf http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4194.html

I don't have any technical details or any links providing info but from personal experience with IBM Support when I was setting up my VIOServer I was creating on vhost per physical disk (Yea a bit over kill I know), and I was instructed by IBM support to use one vhosts for all my disks/VTD...

I don't have specific details on the correct process but I can just tell you I recently moved from JS20's (8842-41X) and P5 520's I think (7028-6C4)) to P6 570 hardware without any issues and I am at 5.3 TL6.

If when the tsm user tries to run the dsmadmc command if they get an error such as "execute permision denied" then you need to set the execute bit on the file. That would be chmod +x /pathtofile/dsmadmc. As I understand it execute for everyone would be ok since they can't do anything after...
