Security Standards
IBM has a 47 page pdf doc on: Strengthening AIX Security: A System-Hardening Approach March 26, 2002 Authors: David Batten Antonio Joglar Linda St. Clair Susan Schreitmueller Rebecca Sanchez that is very helpful. I have not seen it on the web, but perhaps your Business Partner can get you a... -
unix.mp
I have seen boxes go without problems for days without the file. The working kernel is created and exists.....in hd5...If you need to regenerate the kernel you really can't without the unix_mp file..... So no bosboot or anything can be done.. and as you discovered no mksysb....since it... -

cc -> /usr/vac/bin/xlc
I am confused...and for me that isnt saying much... When you upgraded to 4.3.3, I assume you purchased a c compiler? or at least upgraded your old compiler? Most of the new compilers for Aix 4.3.3 were Visual Age compilers that had to be bought or upgraded, because the older versions would... -

Probs with AIX installation on J40
When you followed the directions above, I believe you had to set the boot not normal but boot from cd? Keeping the key in service.......not normal........ and let the machine boot off the Cd? That should have given you the install menus? Forget the f5 on this machine. -

Forget the f5......You do not have the f5 sms option the same as you did with the 43P....the older SMP microchannel were different they had a bump console... ---------------------------------- Booting microchannel systems into Service mode To boot microchannel systems into Service mode, turn... -

I think that aixat was referring to: http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.techTips?refNo=97785284825726 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/ldap/aix10/aparent.htm http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/ldap/progref/progref.htm but I am not sure that is what you are looking for. -

how do i get a list of installed programs
This might help for things installed with smit..look at the /tmp/lssout when done....it is a little more orderly........but bi is right... If you have third party, not IBM installed, it will not be shown. #!/bin/ksh lslpp -ciq lslpp -ciq | tr ' ' ':' > /tmp/lslpp.op cat /tmp/lslpp.op... -
4.3.3 downgrade to 4.1.5
The 7043-150 only did OS AIX Version 4.2.1, Version 4.3.3, or Version 5.1 operating system so the mksysb restore probably will fail. If you have new adapters the code will not be a part of the 4.1.5 os mksysb.... and so depending on the device it could fail....with no drivers.... It was... -
4.3.3 downgrade to 4.1.5
Which model of 43P do you have....Not all did 4.1.5 the 43P 100 I believe did 4.1.5.......but you had to remove the battery and let the nvram drain ..........before trying to load......... And be careful with unsupported adapters if you added new ones......since not all adpaters worked with... -
Question on routing??
Do the routes have a little c when you view them with netstat? That is cloned route Cloning routes in 4.3.3 add to rc.net also......They need to be before /usr/lib/methods/definet. #no -o tcp_pmtu_discover=0 #no -o udp_pmtu_discover=0 . These values... -

Max Physical Volumes
I hope this doesn't confuse anyone. The answer is it depends... in general the rules are below...but they can change for other factors like pp/pv limits and the 1016 rule........... -B Creates a big vg format volume group. This can accommodate up to 128 physical volumes and 512 logical... -
new network card
Ok...so you then went into smitty devices....? after you did the ifconfig stuff from above? If you go into the smitty devices, communication, ethernet adapter and set the media speed, and half or full here, If the card is up it will say busy...so save changes to database only...
