I just install DB2 Express C on my Linux system through the command line. Everything evaluated successfully afterwards(db2val, etc) I did the /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/instance/db2icrt -p db2inst1. It looks like there is a instance of db2inst1 with no problem. But when I go into su - db2inst1 and try...

At my work we have a 24 hour system. We have a primary and back up. The other day we started getting error messages "products not servicing it's que". This was for all our company's personal execuatables(not AIX OS system core files). Obviousley, if these files are not running in the kernel...

Last night at my job I had to restart a couple of programs. They are actually scripts (.bat files) on a Windows 2000 Server Box. The way I was trained is that you stop the current ones running by clicking on the X in the right corner of the Windows cmd.exe window. My manager saw me do this and...

I have a question. If I set Chomd a+s to /bin/ls then all users should be able to excute ls with the permissions as if they were the owner of ls. The owner of ls is bin. In theory, if I did a Chmod a+s to /bin/ls then any user should be able to have root previlage for viewing and be able to see...

At work we had to shut down a process that was stuck/hanging. I wanted to do a kill -9 while others argued that a hard stop is bad and a kill is better. I think otherwise, if the process is hanging then it is already corrupted and there is no real chance of it recovering itself or 'finishing'...

Which is looked more highly upon in Linux certification, CompTia or LPI? Or is there one even more so that I do not know about?

Does anyone know where I can get study material for this test? There isn't a Redbook for it and all IBM has to offer is a class which is way to expensive. I already know alot of this stuff which is on the test. But I still believe I need to study details in which I may not know. Or does anyone...

At my work, there were a few processes that hung up. We tried to do a kill -9 and the process id numbers and they still wouldn't die. So, we rebooted. At this point, this system would boot up but not fully. We were able to ping the box but we were not able to putty into it. There was no console...

I know IBM doesn't list Gentoo as a supported Linux for DB2, but does anyone know if it would work unofficially? And does DB2 have to be used on the NFS? I want use my laptop to learn the fundamentals of DB2.

There were two files with the same filename that I created. One was 0 bytes and the other had like 3642 bytes. I tried to cat the file but it wouldn't. So I deleted the file. Afterwards, the file with 0 bytes was gone but the file that actually had bytes still remained. I tried to delete that...

I want to get back into Lunix. A year ago I tried Gentoo 2007.0 but I had driver issues. I see now a newer version has yet to be released. So, I am thinking about Debain because it's my second favorite Linux and they just had a recent release in Dec. I prefer Gentoo though, but I don't want to...

Does IBM offer a redbook to study for this test? I couldn't find one, all I could find was expensive classrooms. http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/03005006.shtml

Let's say I had an AIX box and the box had 2 ethernet cards in it. Let's say I wanted to switch out one of the ethernet cards for a new one. What would be the point of making a VIPA for it to point to the ethernet card not being replaced when I could just use etherchannel and have that ethernet...

I want to create symbolic link to a text file in my home directory and I want to place the link in /etc/filename. But I keep getting a "/home/darin/test and /etc/yo are located on different file systems". What Does this mean that /home/darin/ and /etc/yo are on two seperate logical volumes or...

I've been reading the book AIX 5L Administration and it's a great book and I get alot out of it. But I don't think it's the right tool for studying for AIX cert. I took an old practice test off the internet for like AIX 4.* and I failed miserably. I need some kind of guide that focuses on what...

I was talking to my boss and in 6 months he said we are going to switch over to Linux. So, I am a bit confused. We run AIX boxes with AIX 5l. When he saids we are going to switch over to Linux, does this mean we are no longer going to be using the AIX 5L?

At work, on my Windows 2000 server I have to go onto another server and check a file. So what I do is I bring up a DOS shell, ftp into the other server, insert name and then insert password, and then goto the directory to look at the size of the file. I want to write a script where all I have...

I am thining about buying a used AIX system to learn off of. It's processor is a IBM RS/6000 RS6000 7043-170 "44P" 333MHz". My question is, how outdated is this? how slow is this? Will it be so slow it will be hard to operate and learn off of?

I want to become a AIX administrator at my job, but I have to get AIX cert first. I have a AIX book that I am reading, but I was wondering is that enough? Would I have to take a lab for the test also?

With the introduction of IBM's Blue Cloud Systems, along with Cloud Os, I want to get a jump start on these and start learning about them. This way I might be able to get a promotion at my job(if it doesn't get sent to India). Does anyone know of any books for sale that I can read about these?
