I would like to send Cisco router and pix box errors to an AIX server and then be able to retrieve the errors from syslog. Is anyone doing this and can someone give me instructions on how to accomplish this? It looks like many Cisco network products can use snmp to send messages to other...

To further explain the problem, the /etc/utmp file is no longer getting immediately updated when users shells are killed off like they were in 5.1 maintenance level 3 and below.

This script works just fine on 5.1 maintenance level 3 and under. Something changed on 5.2 and 5.1 maintenance level 4. The user processes are successfully killed off by the script. The who command just doesn't immediately acknowledge it with the new AIX levels. Eventually all the users show...

We use a script to kill off certain users before we start our nightly backup. We have installed AIX 5.2 on several servers and we are seeing that when a user's shell is killed off, the who command still sees the users as being logged on. We installed maintenace level 1 and are still seeing...

I've heard that Hacmp 4.5 is buggy. Is anyone using Hacmp 4.4.1 with AIX 5.2? Is anyone using Hacmp 4.5 with AIX 5.2 and if you are, are you experiencing any problems. IBM says Hacmp 4.4.1 is not certified to run on AIX 5.2. Regards, Lee Hagen

I can understand why the access time could be newer than the modification time but not how the modification time could be newer than the access time. Everytime a file is modified it should also be accessed.

Here is an example of one of the files that we delete and how we delete it. The find command is finding exactly what it supposed to be finding. The problem lies in the fact that somehow some of the files are modified without changing the access time. I ruled out cp, mv, touch, cat, vi and...

We delete various files each night that are older than a specified access time. I'm seeing files that have a modification and update time that are later than the last access time. How can this be true? We are running AIX 5.1 which is pretty much up to date on patches.

Does sendmail use /tmp to store temporary files? If it does, can these files be redirected to another filesystem which is less likely to fill up? I am using cron to run scripts which check filesystem sizes, etc and then send out pages and emails if specified thresholds are exceeded. /tmp...

sectorseveng, That was exactly the problem. I should have read your previous response more carefully. This server is a test server that HA has been temporarily disabled on. I made the fixes to the /etc/inittab file and life is now great. Thanks much for your help. Regards, Lee Hagen

Now that the discussion on HA is out of the way, is there anyone out there that has any idea why the /etc/rc.tcpip script is not running to completion during bootup. Like I said, it runs just fine from the command line and I also ran it in error checking mode and there were no errors reported...

I've already read just about every document on HA including the documentation that came with HA and gets loaded during the installation. I've also read thru all the documentation on HMC. I'm scheduled to get outside training some time this year. It's really not all that difficult though. The...

Did you run lsps -a to check on paging space used? If you are really low on paging space weird problems can happen because processes get killed of indiscriminantely.

Here is some additional information that I discovered. First, the rc.tcpip script runs OK from the command line and all the services that are supposed to start up are now running. Second, the rc.tcpip script appears to run from the /etc/inittab script. Here is the line in inittab that starts...

I modified the /etc/rc.tcpip file to remove the comment in front of the named service. I then rebooted the server and expected named to start up. Not only did named not start up, all the other services which should start up that are after the named line in /etc/rc.tcpip didn't start up either...

Thanks for the responses. I had previously tested xntpd and we did not get any errors. We don't have an internal time server so I didn't want to constantly poll an external time server but we might not have any choice until we get an internal time server built. Regards, Lee Hagen

I am syncing up our Regattas running hacmp with a time server at 3:00 am. At the exact same time we are getting a slew of errors which can be viewed by errpt -a and be seen in the cluster.log file. What the errors all seem to boil down to is that hacmp thinks it is losing track of the...

Thanks for the info but I believe that I already solved the problems that I was having. This is what I ended up doing... On NTP server modify /etc/ntp.conf as follows broadcastclient no server 128.46.136.95 #US IN PERDUE fudge 128.46.136.95 stratum 5 server 140.239.10.5 #US MA CONCORD...

How do I set up an AIX NTP server. I modified my /etc/ntp.conf to add....... server my_server_ip fudge my_server_ip stratum 12 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift tracefile /etc/ntp.trace then I started xntpd by startsrc -s xntpd When I tried to get the time from this server from a client I received...

What I'm looking for is how do I find the appropriate attributes for each device such as pv=clear, ret=no, block_size=1024 etc? Thanks, Dave
