VIO server version 1.2
We have implemented two VIO servers that mirror each other. Not too sure what sea is? -
Disk Array Controller Failure in p650
You have to provide a bit more information. You need to narrow it down to either the Fiber-Channel Card, or the Array that resides on the FastT. If you log into the FastT through the management GUI, then you can at least eliminate the possibility of it being on the SAN. Once you have ruled... -
SAN storage disk
Once you remove the hdisks, and the dar then the dacs, run cfgmgr. Next try to import the volume group. If you can remember which VG is on a disk then try to import the VG. -
moving disk from one fast600 to another.
Yes you can, there are some things you have to do on the destination FastT600 server to ensure the config stays in tact on the arrays. -
Cannot see drives via fiber on a M80
Are you sure you have all the file-sets for the Fiber device as well? -
Maintenance level
It’s best to gout to IBM’s website to pull down the latest PTF’s. Yes, you can back out of maintenance levels If you only APPLY the changes and not COMMIT. You may want to try to run an alternate install. This will allow you to clone your rootvg and apply the changes to the copy and keep the... -
NIM: Install 4.3.3 on p610
We have experience some issues with the P610 SCSI disks. Check to make sure you have this FRU number 09P4447 and ROS ID at 43353042. We had all of our SCSI disks replaced. -
Change media speed w/o rebooting
I’m assuming you mean your Ethernet connection? -
NIM error, fishing for clues
Do you have a /usr/local directory in your current environment? If you don’t this is the cause of your problem. When you move to AIX 5.1 it uses /usr/local as a working directory. /usr/local cannot be a link either. Let me know….Vantandem -
6h1 server .vs. EMC symmetrix RAID
1. Yes, 433 can be installed on a 6H1, but it must be at least at maintenance level 10. 2. They should be able to communicate with each other 3. Don’t know. Sorry -
nfs problem
Check to make sure you select to mount the directory when the server restarts. You can find this by running smitty nfs and check the characteristics of the NFS file-system. -
p630's DLPAR ?
Have you ensured all firmware has been updated to the latest? -

boot from RAID disk on AIX 4.3.3
I believe it is possible, but IBM does not support it. I believe that the SSA adapters are bootable. One way to find out is; if you boot in maintenance mode it will search a boot device, if you see your SSA address scroll by then it may be possible. Just test it. -
disk array
In AIX the Raid subsystem is better handled through smit. Smitty ssaraid. -
AIX 5L Experiences
We have started using AIX 5L and so far we have not had any issues, but then again we are just in development phase. I would have to say no regarding your question with Micro channel servers. AIX 5L is geared more for the newer servers. It takes advantage of hot swappable cards, and... -
rcp problems
If your using DNS make sure you have the fully qualified hostname of the server and the short name on the same line. I’ve seen this before. Vantandem -
Fast write cache
When turning on fast-write cache, you have to make any file-systems assigned to those adapters are un-mounted, then make sure that you vary-off and volume groups that are assigned to those adapters (disks). Basically before you can turn fast-write on you have to make sure nothing has a lock on... -
mksysb problem
Johny2001, I’ve seen your error before: mporting volume group... rootvg getlvodm : option requires an argument -- l usage : getlvodm [-a LVdescript][......] 0516-104 lquerylv : incorrect LV identifier. the format must be VG_idetifier. LV_minor_number could not find "/" and/or... -
File Permissions Problem
We have had similar issues with users and root access, though fortunately for us we have not ran into this issue. What I can suggest is a product called Power Broker. PowerBroker will help to reduce security administration, risks, and audit difficulties inherent on Unix systems and will...
