In case you are interested in the fix for this problem, this is a bug with AIX 5.1 and is fixed in ML06. Both of my machines have ML04, but I plan on upgrading to ML06 soon.

I had to IPL a machine (AIX 5.1) that was exporting one of its filesystems to a couple of other AIX 5.1 machines. I forgot to unmount the filesystem on one of the machines. It seems that all processes got hung up and all printing stopped, other software slowed down, no one could log into the...

I think I found a work around. It looks like the ksh in AIX 5.x interprets numbers starting with 0 as octal. Numbers like 08 and 09 would not be valid numbers in octal. So, I decided to try using ksh93 for the script, instead of the older ksh. It now seems to work. ksh93 must be more...

We have a script for doing backups. These backups happen on Saturday (6) and they do different types of backups on odd and even weeks. So, we have an "if" statement similar to what I posted below. if [[ $(date +%u) -eq 6 ]] && [[ $(( $(date +%U ) %2 )) -eq 0 ]] then do something else do...

I can't say I've worked extensivly with disk management in Linux, as I have with AIX. However, if you deal with a lot of storage and are constantly changing the size of your filesystems, etc. AIX is far superior. I change filesystem sizes on the fly, all the time. Once in a while even moving...

Our DBA moved some log files. He used the mv command to move the files to a new filesystem (I understand that on older UNIX versions, this did not work). After moving the files and doing a df -k, the amount of free space in the old fs did not change. The free space in the new fs decreased...

The second script will have to be modified, of course. I'm sure not everyone has a sysredorollvg volume group, and some people may want to see the space in rootvg.

By the way, here are a couple scripts I have written for drive space... ****************************************************** # Script1 set -A dlist `lspv | awk '{print $1}' | sort -A` maxdr=`lspv | wc -l` let count=0 while (($count < $maxdr)); do lspv ${dlist[count]} lspv -l...

Hello Bi, Could you also send me a copy of your scripts? tnelson1@good-sam.com Thanks, Tim

Actually it is less than 10 times faster (probably closer to 5 or 6 times). The P-Pro, P-II, P-III and P4 are all based on the same archetecture. There have been studies that show that a P3 actually runs faster than a P4 at the same Mhz. Double the Mhz does not equal double the speed, etc...

Did you try hitting (and holding) the &quot;5&quot; or &quot;F5&quot; key just after the caps lock light flashes on boot?

AIXSPadmin, Thanks for the reply. After doing a little research on my own, I was able to find the list you gave me in the &quot;chfs&quot; man page. Thanks, Tim

When creating a filesystem, what are the affects of increasing/decreasing &quot;Fragment Size&quot; and &quot;Number of bytes per inode&quot;? Also, how is the ceiling calculated? I know that if you have a frag size of 4096 and a nbi of 4096, the maximum size (in 512 byte blocks) is...

Hello, I just ran across this same problem (hense the reason for reading this thread). I have a couple questions, what are the affects of increasing/decreasing &quot;Fragment Size&quot; and &quot;Number of bytes per inode&quot;? Also, how is the ceiling calculated? If I increase NBI to 8K...

I believe we have resolved the problem by installing a newer version of our Lawson COBOL compiler.

We are testing a new Lawson environment and every few days we are unable to inquire upon some data and we get a message which says &quot;Due to misuse, a reboot is required&quot;. A reboot does fix the problem, however I would rather avoid having to reboot the machine every couple days. I know...

If you type instfix -ciqk 4330-07_AIX_ML | grep &quot;:-:&quot; it will show you which filesets you are missing in the 07 ML (replace with the apropriate version if this happens on a ML other than 07). Usually when you get a message like &quot;Not all filesets found&quot;, it is only one or...
