Thanks for replying HarryNair Yes auth1 for root is SYSTEM, followed procedure in IBM Book Installation and Migration that comes with the software. Done loads of migrations from early 3.5AIX right up to 5.3 but this one's got me stumped. Looking at whats new in 6.1 it may have something to...

Hi All Anyone had this before. Upgraded to AIX 6.1 via migration, after system rebooted and presented me with a login , I cannot login either as root or a user. I know the password file is ok as I can connect via ftp, and rsh which uses the password file for validation. It's as if it's not...

Hi I am not using HMC on this system, do you think the serial port settings have been set in the system hardware as i think the system was setup originally using HMC. I rebuilt the system just using a dumb terminal connected to the first serial port. Funny thing is that the speed is set to...

Hi Has any one had problems with intermittant system crashes on an F40 with 2 processors running AIX 5.1 maint level 3. Memory is as follows 2 x 64MB 4 x 128MB As far as i am aware all firmware is upto date. Maintenance company have swapped out memory, system planer and processors. Have just...

Hi I have just come across a patch which fixes the 553 problem. Look at APAR IY35272 on IBM Fixes for AIX 5L. If you have an update CD with a date of 02/2003 then this fix should be on it. Regards Bladesman.

Has any one out there had problems after upgrading to 5L and the machine displays 553 when rebooting for various amounts of time. The machine eventually loads and every thing is OK. Have looked at the trouble shooting suggestions from IBM for 553 errors, but they don't seem to have any effect...
