Hello Folks I have a question . I have a requirement of segregation of Production and non production environments. We are going to build separate ESXI clusters for Prod and Non Prod . However i am confused in making a decision around Distributed switches ... Should one distributed switch...

Hello I dont know why IBM has changed options in Fix central , but the way it is changed , introduced challenges for end users. For example , my TL/SP was at 6.1-09-01 and when i installed bos.cluster.rte , now it has become 6.1-09.00. That is fine , i know that i have to install...

Thanks everyone for their help on this. I configured NPIV successfully and added more paths to VIOS rootvg as well. However i have an observation that be default reserve_policy for all disks appear to be "single path", although i am using SDDPCM on both VIO ( because of SAN boot ) and AIX...

Guys I did recently a fresh installation of VIO lpars using single path from SAN. VIO lpars are booting well from SAN now. My question is that can i use same FC port which is being used currently for VIO lpars to boot , for booting AIX client lpars using NPIV? In other words can i create...

Guys. i do have a two nodes hacmp cluster with each nodes having only one logical ethernet interface ( etherchannel) The same interface carry boot ip and service ip . Now i want to configure netmon.cf file on both nodes and question is which ip address should i put in netmon.cf file? Should...

Guys I do have two storage pools in a new v7000 and two mdisks ( one mdisk mapped to one storage pool ). Both mdisks are RAID-10 but of different sizes ( 3+3 and 2+2). I do have my DB2 volume ( database plus logs ) on same volume but volume is under IO stress recently with almost 85%...

Guys I am facing an issue with hosts connected to V7000. Although mapped volume is currently accessible from host however when i go to check detailed properties for hosts, FC ports for hosts is showing in degraded status ( though nodes being shown logged in)... Another confusion is about...

Thanks Tony, I would ask one more question here . As there are at least 5 HP UX servers which are connected to EVA and we would like to start with one test server first. Now question is that i will change zoning for this test server only ( i mean v7000/EVA zone plus HP UX/V7000 zone ) but i...

Guys I am about to perform a data migration from HP EVA 4400 to V7000. Host servers are HP UX servers, which are not using any additional multipathing software other than built in PVLINK. I do have following questions , as i am doing first time using V7000. Q1. When i will change zoning , as...

hi, if the print qeueue is down , it will accept print job requsts , but nothing will print out. You can customize print queue characteristics to send an alarm to admin if the print queue is down or write a shell script for that purpose. Here comes polani Once again!!! See my personal blogs...

hi, No rootvg disk is on one disk only , no rootvg mirroing at all... That's strange thing! Here comes polani Once again!!! See my personal blogs at http://reliablesolutions.blogspot.com for unique solutions and tips on AIX, Linux,Storage and TSM.

Guys I am trying to do a mksysb restore on target Lpar which is almost similar to source Lpar. When i say almost , it means that rootvg disk size is exactly same. When i try to restore through NIM on target Lpar , i am successfull in reaching up to mksysb restoration menus.. meaning that...

Hi p5wizard, I did it through manage_disk_drivers command which is not very known but seems very powerful, It was earlier showing on VIO that present driver for DS5100 is SDDPCM, i switched it to AIXAPPM ( AIX native MPIO); after restart disk types remained same , but present driver switched...

Guys I do have a VIO server which is bein installed with SDDPCM for suppoting IBM DS5100.. Now i want to remove it from VIO server as i now know that SDDPCM is not supported on VIO servers with DS50000. Can anybody guide me how should i do that... By the way , what is the output of...

Guys I am much confused about possible usage of SDDPCM on my latest VIO server. The VIo server is running latest version of VIOS and backend disk subsystem is DS5100. Question is that whether i require SDDPCM on VIO server or not? If not , which device driver for DS5100 should i put in VIO...

hi i do have one NIM server ( AIX 6.1 ML02 ) and three NIM clients running at AIX 6.1 ML02. Now i want to know what could be easiest way to update ML02 to ML04 using NIM? I have already downloaded ML04 fixes to /export/nim/ML06 directory on NIM server. What is the way to update existing...

Hi Yes i agree !!!. offcourse i will assign HEA ports as physical adapter to VIOS( not LHEA.. it was my typo). In that case , do you think any issues? any other possibilities to meet requirements in more better way? Regards Here comes polani Once again!!! See my personal blogs at...

Guys I am planning to do a single VIO configuration on a POWER6 server which has come with 4 port IVE card. I have to implement one production Lpar with two dedicated ethernet ports , but keep flexibility in mind to end up with an infra which can allow more test/dev lpars on same server. For...

Hi Thanks for reply... I understand that there might be some performance issues. But question is that whether tapecopy can read from multiple source tapes ( belonging to same job on same day ) and put all data in few destination tapes ? For example , let say i do have logical drives on my...
