How to add SAN disk being presented to VIO server to LPAR
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. -

aix sendmail
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. -

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

installing python, file dependencies problem
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. -
installing python, file dependencies problem
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? -

hdisk to lun mapping
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... -

hdisk to lun mapping
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? -
FTP issue
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... -
FTP issue
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...
