AIX5.,2 gigbit problem
Hi, check the ether switch port for STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). If the full STP is enabled, it may take about 40 sec for the ether switch port to become online. -
hacmp & adding static routes
Hi, you loose your service address when HACMP detects a network/adapter failure and it brings the resource group down, eventually up elsewhere. Adding routes through "smit route" should work. There may be a problem with the routes if you are adding host specific routes those conflict... -
vmstat fre value 0 and hdisk0 100% utilized
Hi, The values looks OK, but I cannot test them now. I am out of office. I have experienced the same strange behaviour of AIX5.2 ML01, that is the coresponding level to AIX5.1 ML04, too. I am also looking for explanation of what has been changed in AIX5.2 ML01/AIX5.1 ML04. Can anyone help? -
Win PC to AIX FTP
Sorry for the misunderstanding of the "kick off". I understood it as "disable" or "stop the process". What I wrote is how to disable the PC to access the server. -
Performance AIX
Hi Saythere, are you running technical environment or database? If technical then modify the number of threads in your application. If database then I think you may have too many client processes, that may be OK. You can do some tuning with the vmo, schedo and ioo commands (should be modified... -
C Compiler version 5 to 6
Hi, I think you can have the licenses for v5 and v6 simultaneously, but I think you will have a problem to install the C compiler simultaneously in v5 and v6 on the same server as the installp installs it into the same directory structure. You can setup your server to use the nodelock file, to... -
Printing problem
Hi, the problem is 99% software and 1% hardware. I met the AXIS printers long time ago and as I remember they use their own print drivers and not the AIX ones. I would start to debug the problem in those drivers. -
Win PC to AIX FTP
1.) Kill the ftpd process on AIX - you have to guess which if more than one. 2.) Edit the /etc/ftpaccess.ctl - restrict the PC to access your server. 3.) Go to a PC or MS Win forum. -
AIX 4.3.2 rootvg chvg
...16376 2 - I would be afraid to use this as the MaxDisk/VG reduces to 2. See also the PP SIZE parameter as the "PP SIZE" * "MaxPP/disk" = "MaxDiskSize" The "MaxDiskSize" * "MaxDisk/VG" = "MaxSizeOfVG" The behaviour... -

C Compiler version 5 to 6
Hi, you need to update the licenses. Your license information is available in the /usr/vac directory after installing the vac.lic package. The files are: cforaix_cn.lic cforaix_c.lic cforaix_n.lic - I use this as I just add the line to the /var/ifor/nodelock file as described in the .lic file... -
vmount: a system call received a parameter that is not valid
Remove or reconfigure your NIS configuration: smit ypconfigure -> Remove NIS ... Check your /etc/filesystems file. Attach the stanza for the failing filesystem as a reply. Check your /etc/vfs file. It should look like this: # @(#)vfs @(#)77 1.29 src/bos/etc/vfs/vfs, cmdfs, bos520... -
Performance AIX
Hi, attach a "vmstat 1 5" and "sar -P ALL 1 5" output. The runqueue of 4 per processor could be high as it means that there are frequent context switches - switches of processes or threads. But if you have high values of the runqueue then usually you have low CPU IDLE% and... -
vmstat fre value 0 and hdisk0 100% utilized
Hi, some processes are "eating" your RAM memory and the system has no one free memory page. So, the VMM (virtual memory manager) is moving old pages to disk (hd6, paging00) and trying to get the reqested pages from paging space back to memory. How to solve this? 1.) Check your... -
Remote Printing with DHCP
Hi, you said the PC is using the printer through the JetDirect card. You can set the fixed IP address on your HP JetDirect card and define your print queue from AIX directly to the printer's JetDirect IP address. If the printer is connected directly to your PC's serial or parallel port then you... -
Raid 5 setup question
Hi, depending on your RAID 5/5E configuration your 6 disks will contain: RAID5 = data + data + data + data + data + parity RAID5E = data + data + data + data + parity + hotspare With RAID5E you have more reliability, but you lose disk space. I have not done performance tests on the stripe... -
What to do if the RMC (ctrmr) does not work?
Environment: AIX 5.2.0 ML01, rsct.core.rmc.2.3.1.0 To reinitialize the RMC (ctrmc) subsystem, run the following command: /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct If you get a message like ... /var/ct/cfg/clusters is missing, then just ignore it and let the recfgct to recreate it. If you get... -
How do I limit the growth of a JFS filesystem
...If this is the case, check the following places in var: /var/adm/wtmp /var/adm/sulog /var/tmp/snmpd.log /var/tmp/dpid.log /var/spool/mail/ - check who is getting large mails or if none is your case, then just run: cd /var du -sk * ...and pick up your "guilty" directories and clean up. -

AIX IBM HTTPServer (IHS) fails to start
I could not find any reference table, too. I would use the following combination: Apache from http://www.bullfreeware.com/ (1.3.27) AIX 5.2.0.10 (AIX 5.2 + Maintenance Level 1) I met your problem when I upgraded AIX 4.3.3 ML06 to ML09 with Netscape. I had to receive a newer version of Netscape...
