RS/6000 - Boots, but cannot login
I have seen this occur when the root filesystem (/) is full ... sometimes after root user does a verbose mksysb and smit.log gets too big. Might be worth checking from maintenance. -
Restore one directory from mksysb
If it's a mksysb done on AIX 4, you'll need to skip over the boot stuff. Try: cd / tctl -f /dev/rmt0 rewind restore -s4 -xdvf /dev/rmt0.1 ./usr/tmp -
Hi, How to decrease the file syste
Hi Karan, It is also possible to do a mksysb if your filesystems are on rootvg and then restore that mksysb to reduce the size of your filesystems. This is an alternative if your current configuration doesn't have the space to create a new filesystem to copy the files from the old to... -

AIX FTP Korn Shell Script

AIX FTP Korn Shell Script
Cindy, What is the "<<" supposed to be doing? I know that ">>" appends to a file, that ">" overwrites a file, and the "<" pulls from a file. I haven't seen the "<<" before .... Thank you, -MissVick -

errors during mksysb
Specifically to the 0511-449 error message, when we have encountered this problem it has been due to "garbage" file names, e.g. when you do a listing of a directory, you might see ?'s; the output may be not in columns, but scewed; or the such. (I call them "garbage" because...
