The best step is ifconfig en1 down ifconfig en1 detach chdev -l ent1 -a media_speed=100_Full_Duplex then ifconfig en1 inet ip_address netmask net_mask up Then add the default route route add 0 deafult_route Then it will surely work

Make a new vg with the new drive. Then create the lvs of same size as the old volumegroup. Then excute the following command to make the lvs type copy. chlv -t copy newlv Then unmount the filesystem which you want to copy. Then execute cplv -e destinationlv(newlv) sourcelv(oldlv) Then it...

You should be able to send mail using the mail command in AIX. But your AIX box should be capable of resolving the archwireles.net address. To check that your server is resolving the name or not # nslookup >archwireles.net It should return the ip address of that. If it does then the mail will...

Hi John, It is a microcode problem on the CDROM drive and it has to be updated. Contact IBM Hardware or follow this URL http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro/40xcdrom.html#ToC_3 and http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro/download.html

Not installed 5.1 on F80. But heard that in some recent IBM RS/6000 the CDROM drive is IDE instead of SCSI. So you need a particular set of AIX5.1 CD which contains driver for IDE.

You can not run sar command without super user permission. So the alternative is to implement "sudo" .Then configure to give your id permission to do such task.

In case of striping the data is evenly spread across the disks. But when you add more disks to the volume group you may not be able to extend your filesystem if it does not satisfy the stripe width. So another solution is instead of striping you can specify inter policy as maximun. So that it...

Try running a script as a at job ifconfig en0 down ifconfig en0 detach ifconfig en0 inet ip_address netmask subnet_mask up route add 0 deafult_route Put the above lines in to script and run it as at now.You will be fine.
