    P630 amber light

    The amber light (I think it's called System Attention) is switched on when anything hardware-related gets logged in the errlog. Check with "errpt -dH" to see what is there. Note that by hardware-related it may not necessarily mean that something is broken. A power failure also gets logged in the...

    mksysb Permission

    mksysb is as script so you can't use setuid+setgid bits on this one, but sudo would probably be of help. It's on the Linux Toolbox CD.

    system gets stuck for 6 minutes during boot

    The most common place to invoke skulker from is root's crontab. In your case it seems to be in /etc/inittab or possibly one of your /etc/rc* scripts. We use skulker at my site but we have it run at midnight through cron: 0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/skulker >/var/adm/skulker.log 2>&1

    power user accounts

    1) Try sudo on IBM's Linux Toolbox CD. It's also available for download here 2) There's a technique to manipulate Korn Shell's SECONDS variable to use to for display the current time in the prompt here.

    Unwanted routes

    No, on the contrary, I would assume. With these routes AIX redirect packets destined to the same machine through the loopback interface instead of passing them down to the Ethernet device driver (or whatever type of card you have on your box) and I guess the reason for this is performance.

    prevent all users except one or two accounts from logging in

    If you use /etc/profile then you may also need to apply the same to /etc/csh.login if you have users using C-shell.

    lower and higher priority process

    You need root-privilege to set a higher priority on a process. Use the setpri subroutine if you're writing a C-program or the command renice if you're writing a shell-script. setpri sets a fixed (only for the lifetime of the process) priority while renice just changes the nice value.

    Unwanted routes

    This may not be related to HACMP. If you're running AIX 5.x then this is normal behavior. The system redirects internal traffic to the loopback interface. Is 10.133.217.51 by any chance one of your interfaces on the machine?

    when starting a new ksh it doesn't set vi as the editor

    You can also choose command-line editor with the -o option to ksh, such as: ksh -o vi

    RPC question

    Also: 1. Make sure that your RPC server on nodeA has bound to the right IP-address. Use rpcinfo -p ipaddress to see socket-number and then netstat -anf inet|grep socket. 2. You may need to delay the start of the RPC server on nodeA until after configuring the service-address. If this is an...

    graphics blank screen

    Another possible reason could be that the refresh rate is too high for the monitor. Try a lower rate. This can be changed with the command smitty chres_refrt.

    prevent all users except one or two accounts from logging in

    The file /etc/nologin will disable all users except root. To allow more users to log in you could instead do this: # chsec -f /etc/security/user -s default -a login=false -a rlogin=false If you want to disable rsh and rexec logins as well: # chsec -f /etc/security/user -s default -a...

    How to get total file number of one vg, thanks.

    Only files? Then maybe this short script. You need to be root to run it. #!/bin/ksh find $(lsvgfs rootvg) -xdev -type f | wc -l

    NIS Aix passwd expiry

    AIX does not enforce the rules on passwords (such as aging, composition etc.) on a NIS client. This works fine with LDAP though.

    Load NIS

    NIS: bos.net.nis.client and bos.net.nis.server. NIS+: bos.net.nisplus. These packages are available on the AIX 4.3.3 operating system CD's.

    Migrating from uniprocessor to multiprocessor (AiX 5.2)

    I would not expect that moving the rootvg disks would work without problems. Do you already have an AIX 5.2 running on the B80? If so then you could check what device drivers have been installed on it (lslpp -L "devices.*") and make sure the same are installed on the B50. Then take a mksysb...

    Default system special user accounts - locked

    How would you lock these accounts? At our site we have the standard practice of "disabling" the same accounts (and including some more). This we do with the command: # chuser login=false rlogin=false ttys=ALL,!RSH,!REXEC shell=/bin/false username. We also list the users in /etc/ftpusers.

    # lspv -l hdiskX or # lspv -l vpathX

    How do I update a specific fileset?

    All updates are cumulative. meaning that the highest level will also contain the updates from previous levels. To get bos.adt.samples up to 4.3.3.76 then you just apply that update.

    Spontaneous Reboot on RS6000 with AIX 5.2.0.0

    Maybe it's this one? 3) AIX 5.2 : High impact/highly pervasive (2004.05.13) APAR Number: IY56376 Systems with many devices may experience reboot loop where system starts booting, displays 517 on LED display, and then reboots.
