Yes I know how to use the system resource controller. Yes nimsh is up (and yes I'm using nimsh!) Yes the world is available over the network. Yes there are no full filesystems. Yes the box is powered on. Yes the sky is blue (well above the clouds it is). Sorry Khalidaaa, not a helpful post...

Just found this post, no solution but the symptoms are identical: http://www.pseriestech.org/forum/aix-for-power-systems/nim-master-corrupt-909.html

0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master": 0042-053 m_mkbosi: there is no NIM object named "xxxxxxx_mksysb" Any attempt to define an object [of any type not just mksysb] served by master gives the above error. There is no NIM object "xxxxxxx_mksysb", however an lsnim -l master...

EMC's 'solution enabler' will give you a command line interface to do you splits and syncs. Watch out for the two Gotchas: 1) The aix commands give a return code of zero when the DMX has said 'yes I will do that' not 'yes I have done it'. 2) All SE commands are suspended during a disk...

Thanks p5W - Looks like I'll go down the HMC route.

p5W, Are you saying that if I go the IVM route then I can only have one VIO server? I'm looking at configuring half the box as 1 LPAR and the other with 2 VIO servers to give me vLPARS as required.

I'm looking at getting a p5-550 with IVM & APV options. Do I need a HMC? If I don't then what provides the HMC functionality? tia

hfaix, It is a tidy-up exercise to get back to an original config, this disk having been borrowed and now no longer required.

Thanks p5, both clients have other vSCSI disks which are not moving so it is just a change in mapping. Shame there is no chvdev ;-)

Hi, I'm looking to move 2 Virtual SCSI disks mapped as LVs, 1 from each of my 2 VIO servers, to a new host. If I remove the virtual target device mappings from host1: rmvdev -vtd vtemp1 and then map them to the new host2 (vhost2): mkvdev -vdev temp1 -vadapter vhost2 -dev vtemp1 Repeat for...

No this is not an ONLINE backup of oracle or a cold backup, just shutting down oracle on one box and bringing it back up on another.

Probably mag tape - allthough the new box is on the same LAN. The source vg is on SSA disk, the target is SAN attached disk (EMC). Could I attach the SSA to the new box, importvg from one of the SSA disks, morror onto SAN, break the mirror etc? At what point would oracle throw its teddies out...

Yes - I'm aware that mksysb/savevg use backup and I can dd each individual lv. What I'm asking is if there is any way of cloning at a higher (volume group) level. Someone out there must have had to clone an Oracle system at some time!

I have a system which uses Raw logical volumes that I am trying to clone (move onto different H/W). I can use mksysb/savevg for rootvg & appvg, but I am stuck when it comes to my datavg which has the RLVs (along with 2 filesystems). Is there a way of cloning this vg or do I have to let the app...

Check the hardware type: p43-150 is chrp p43-140 is RSPC

The telnet/ping every second time is classic symptom of having 2 default gateways (a feature of aix5), where one does not not have a route back (ie private network). look for the "=>" on the right in netstat -r

(aix 5.1 ml3) I have a user fred with home directory /home/fred1 I have an alternate environment for fred at /home/fred2 I want to be able to su - fred -c "do something here with $HOME = /home/fred2" (fred's .profile is different in fred1 & fred2) I could chuser fred before and...

Was (is?) Etherchannel available in AIX 4.4.3 ? tia

Micro$ofts officail line: STATUS This behavior is by design. They force you along an upgrade path, but you can't get at your achived data unless you use an obsolete OS. Oh well , back to good old tar, it worked in 1980 and still works today!

I think we need more info! What are your vmtume options/values? What is the exact error o/p?
