On a service domain I have two x quad NIC's, with IPMP enabled for one port cabled-up on each quad. One of the NIC's has failed-over in the past - but wasn't noted (its a test environment.) Accordingly the virtual NIC in the guest LDOM's have done the same. I've been trying to figure-out the...

I have a P690 with the latest and greatest combined system/platform/SCSN firmware, but with LPARS on AIX 5.1. The 7040-61R HMC is on 3.26 (!). I am tasked with a upgrade the LPAR OS's to 5.3 TL 6, but before I do so I am seeking to upgrade the HMC to 3.3.7, with an initial upgrade to 3.3.5...

Hi! Great responses. AIX is at 5300-06-04-0748 IBM have ben involved with truss and perpmr, but have given up with ideas now. /tmp is at 90%. This is my last throw of the dice with this - I can't figure out any more routes for a possible diagnosis. recl

Hi! I have an AIX partition exhibiting some strange though not particularly annonying behaviour with the "ps" command but only when it is piped to "wc" This happens during random times of the day or night; timex ps -ef | wc -l real 11.64 user 0.08 sys 7.24 2014 (processes) At...

Hi dial8d, That's a good one to keep. The (-271) error seems to have a few possible fixes. However my error (-1) really seems to be an oddity. I do though have a stuffed Hitachi DLM installation and I suspect I should be using that for extending. Trying with the approprimate dlmfd device...

Yes, I've tried that...and annoyingly the new volume works absolutely fine with a new volume group, but not with the existing one. recl

Hi! I am hitting an undefined snag when trying to add a 13GB Hitachi LUN to an already-established volume group. The volume will work with a new volume group no problem. Here's the error; 0516-008 extendvg: LVM system call returned an unknown error code (-1). 0516-792 extendvg...

Hi! I have a server running the old ASE 11.0.3 on AIX 5.1. I have used TSM/SQL BackTrack (4.0.50) to copy a large database from another server, and this worked fine - despite every version of every tool being a tad old. Before restoring to my AIX 5.1 server I created the raw logical volumes...

As costiles details, the buffer cache is worthwhile visiting - Oracle 10g maimtains its own cache, so the AIX one can waste some memory resource. I've just gone through this process with an old 660, and I found nmon was crucial for figuring-out things in near real-time and for analysing...

Hi! I have a 2nd-hand P630 with a single 7311-D20 attached, with 12 x 146GB drives and two 2498 RAID cards in slots 4 & 7 at the rear of the 7311 - running 5.1 ML 3. Initially I could see the physical devices through the Disk Array Manager (PDAM) and with scraidmgr. I built an array, attached...

Ok great answers guys, and a good discussion DukSSD's lscfg routine provided; # lscfg -vp | grep -i -p processor The following resources are installed on your machine. Model Architecture: chrp Model Implementation: Multiple Processor, PCI bus proc0 U1.1-P1-C1 Processor proc2...

Or is it one x 4-way - in which case I would be trying to swap the 4-way to a 6-way.

I have an old P660 that I want to add 2 CPU's to. It currently reports 4 processors; Name: PowerPC,RS64-IV Node: PowerPC,RS64-IV@0 Device Type: cpu Physical Location: U1.1-P1-C1 Name: PowerPC,RS64-IV Node: PowerPC,RS64-IV@2 Device Type: cpu Physical Location...

I have a P660 with 16GB installed that swaps for an overnight batch process for 4 hours. Performance drops to a crawl. nmon reports that at its peak, when physical memory is exhausted, "fsin" is occurring at 3470 (pages) per second. A page is 4096 bytes, so I am presuming the swap-in rate is...

Hi, I have a P660 with 4 x 750 Mhz R64's, 16GB RAM & hosting a single Oracle 10g instance. I'm performing a capcity exercise for anticipated future workload increase. I believe the server is I/O bound, but I don't know wat else to do to confirm this assertion. Would anyone be interested in...

Thanks Feherke, I'll give them a try tomorrow morning (in the UK) and report how I got on. recl.

Hi! I am scripting a solution that requires two characters to be replaced in a string that appears in a file (with other unrelated strings) and I'm struggling to figure-out a routine that will satisfy the requirement. The string is always consistent, and is in the form...

I managed to get svn running on 4.3.3 but compiling from source. I used the Linux utilities for 4.3.3 for packages like zlib. I couldn't get the apache support working though and the SVN community are pretty useless when it comes to supporting AIX, HP-UX or Solaris. I vaguely remember that...
