LVM I/O errors while one VIO down in Dual VIO configuration
Did you set path priority on the LPARs? -
lost bosboot after unmirroring
Those sites referenced in the other answers may have eventually gotten to this, but this is what I use: Create a link between the boot device indicated and the /dev/ipldevice file. Enter: rm ipldevice ln /dev/boot_device_name /dev/ipldevice example: ln /dev/rhdisk0 /dev/ipldevice Then run... -
update AIX 5.3
Check to see if the html fileset for iforls was updated. We had this problem and that was the only fileset that was missing. Run install and search for iforls in the list of available filesets, select it and install it. -
Determining fix pack files?
And adding to DukeSSD's comment, some filesets won't even install without all the TL and SP level filesets. -
NIM noob: How to upgrade NIM client TL05 to TL06
It is my understanding that alt_disk_install or alt_disk_migration cannot be used to go from one TL to another. It is used to go from one version to another (5.2 to 5.3, for example) and it works great for that. There is a multi-bos function, which I tried when it first came out, but was... -
VI: Out of memory saving lines for undo.
That must be one huge file. The undo buffer for vi is by default /var and your /var filesystem is pretty big with lots of space still left. If you just want to look at the file, you could try using pg or cat <filename> | more. If you must edit the file, the only way I know to edit it would be... -
getTgtRsrc command
As is usually the case, I found my problem 10 seconds after I posted. Instead of -vio, I have to use -viosEth <server names> -viosDisk. I kept dropping the s in -vios -
getTgtRsrc command
Has anyone used the getTgtRsrc command successfully? This is a command found on NIM servers that can be used to query a managed system's vio servers through the managed system's HMC to get information about the resources on the vio servers. I am using this syntax: ./getTgtRsrc -hmc <name of... -
0516-1734 extendlv: Warning, savebase failed
Actually, the solution to this problem might not seem as clear cut as some think. It is not a very common error. If you run savebase -v and you get "non-bootable LV name given" try reconstucting your /dev/ipldevice file. (I believe there is a posting somewhere here that tells you how to do... -
0042-124 c_ch_nfsexp: NFS option sec=sys is NOT supported
You could try cleaning up your what your NIM master thinks is exported: mv /etc/exports to a backup file. run: stopsrc -s nimesis stopsrc -s nfsd rm -rf /etc/xtab rm -rf /etc/rmtab rm -rf /var/statmon/sm rm -rf /var/statmon/sm.bak startsrc -s nfsd startsrc -s nimesis mv /etc/exports backup file... -
rootvg, migratepv, partition map file problems
OK. Trying to add 1 PP to a filesystem: 0516-408 allocp: Illegal logical volume identifier value. -
rootvg, migratepv, partition map file problems
Sorry. That was another system that also has the same problem with LVM. I only showed the migratepv error because it seemed to be the most descriptive. -
rootvg, migratepv, partition map file problems
Thanks. $ lsvg rootvg VOLUME GROUP: rootvg VG IDENTIFIER: 000fb1aa00004c00000001104ee9c3d5 VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 64 megabyte(s) VG PERMISSION: read/write TOTAL PPs: 1084 (69376 megabytes) MAX LVs... -
rootvg, migratepv, partition map file problems
I am having problems with rootvg. When trying to do anything with LVM, I get allocp errors. OS level is 5.3 TL4 SP3. The most revealing error I received was when I was trying to do a migratepv on one of the LVs. These are the errors: # migratepv -l hd3 hdisk0 hdisk4 0516-408 allocp: Illegal... -
2006 Daylight Savings Time Patch - Any problems?
none for the APAR and none for the patch utility used to patch non-installp versions of Java. -
Java DST APARs problem
Looking more closely at the error you got and the results of lslpp, did the first error occur on the system that has Java131.adt.debug and Java131.ext.plugin or on the system that does not have it? You have the prerequisites on one system for the 131 patch. You don't have the prerequisites on... -
Java DST APARs problem
Sorry I haven't answered sooner. If you go to http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html you should be able to download the latest version of the 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Java. The filesets will be "initial install" filesets, so you should not need anything else. You will not have... -
multibos utility
Has anyone ever used the multibos utility in AIX 5.3 TL3 or higher? I'm trying to use it and keep getting this error: 0645-007 ATTENTION: mb_init_vars() returned an unexpected result. -
Java DST APARs problem
What do you get when you do an lslpp -l | grep -i java? -
Daylight Savings coming
If you have applications that use Java and they use date and time functions and the filesets aren't up to the level in the APARs, you need to apply the APARs. Or you need to install the latest version of Java. The APARs don't cause a boot, but the Java processes have to be stopped and restarted...
