I haven't specifically used netapp, but after your SAN folks add the LUNS and zone your fibre switche(s) you should be able to just run cfgdev on the VIO server(s) and they should pick up the new disks. Then you just present the disks to the LPARs in the same manner you have before.

Thank you sir, that's exactly what I needed.

How do I configure sendmail on AIX 5.3 to only listen on localhost for incoming mail? I have a program that needs the sendmail daemon to be running to send out alerts, but I don't want any other machines to be able to connect to it.

I'm trying to set up a simple chroot sftp as well and having an issue. # ssh -v OpenSSH_5.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h 28 May 2008 # tail /etc/ssh/sshd_config # override default of no subsystems Subsystem sftp internal-sftp # Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis Match User...

Are you trying to connect the p550 straight to the p550 via fc, or is it going through a fiber switch?

pretty sure it is an option. My first post contains the server log while using the localhost option. Here is the server log of an option I just made up to compare the logs. $ vncserver -genericoption New 'X' desktop is testaix:1 Starting applications specified in /home/ccook/.vnc/xstartup...

I have vncserver installed on a machine (AIX 5.3) Vncserver application came from the Linux Application disk for Aix. Whenever I issue the command "vncserver" everything starts up just fine and I can connect. However if I try to use the "vncserver -localhost" The process starts and instantly...

Here is my step by step, having just done this. Login to the machine that will be your ssh server and go to your home directory and make the .ssh directory. $ pwd /home/ccook $ mkdir .ssh $ ls -latr drwxr-xr-x 2 ccook system 256 Apr 22 13:33 .ssh At this point you need to pay...

Are you telling the nim client to boot from the network? It looks like it is trying to boot from hard disk. Boot to SMS Select 2. Setup Remote IPL (set all your ip settings) escape to main SMS menu select 5. Select Boot Options select 1. install/boot device select 6. network select 1. (or...

very informative post, I may soon be performing a similar task and this post will be of significant help.

I ended up scrapping the linux tools disk and just downloaded Activestate python for aix. I couldn't use the basic tar command to uncompress it though, I had to use GNU tar /opt/freeware/bin/tar. But problem solved and I now have a newer version of python on my system.

In my original post I said I got OpenSSL from sourceforge, that is not correct, I pulled openssh from sourceforge, the OpenSSL is from IBM. Has anyone ever ran in to a problem where they had a newer version of a dependency and as a result something wouldn't install?

Off of the top of my head this is how I would run through a quick NIM install. smitty nim Perform NIM Software Installation and Maintenance Tasks Install and Update Software Install the Base Operating System on Standalone Clients (select the machine you defined) select installation type select...

I'm trying to install python off of the linux_apps disk for AIX. My problem is that the install is not resolving the following dependencies: libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.7) is needed by python-2.3.4-2 libdb-3.3.a(libdb-3.3.so.0) is needed by python-2.3.4-2 libgdbm.a(libgdbm.so.3) is needed by...

I'm having trouble getting X11 forwarding to work and with my display not getting set whenever I sign on to my AIX 5.3 machine via ssh, any suggestions? my sshd_config has X11 Forwarding enabled, and I can get my display on my local machine by manually setting the display DISPLAY=x.x.x.x:10.0...

p5wizard you were right on the money. Those numbers lined up to the LUN number, thank you very much. After you showed me how to identify the LUN numbers I noticed something else interesting. The above command lscfg -vl hdisk4/5 is being run on a vio server and the last digit of the serial...

Thanks, I will do that.

Yes I can but it will probably me Monday before I get a chance to check it out. In the mean time, what exactly are the benefits of using SDDPCM and is it to late for me to load it up?

Glad you got it to work but I still don't really understand the solution. It looks like to me you simply enabled the ftp server with the "chsubserver" command, which actually just modifies /etc/inetd.conf But if it wasn't enabled to begin with how were you connecting to it with the root...

My first thought was /etc/ftpusers but you say there is not one soo... I must ask some of the obvious questions. 1. The users can login normally using other services (ssh/telnet)? 2. You are using AIX's ftp server not another app like Proftpd? 3. I know question 1 more less answers this but I...
