Hi, I have a server that has just been upgraded to solaris 7 from 6 (i know it is still an old version but there are reasons..) and the Esc key causes a Segmentation Fault and then a core dump. I have tried looking at termcaps etc but nothing seems to work. I have tried different term types...

Hi, Need to change as setting on the network card on our AIX server but the system just reports the specified device is busy. I have tried ifconfig en0 down and stopping tcp/ip services to no avail. Anybody got any ideas of how i can change the setting ? (want to change duplex setting via...

Just a thank you to all that replied. Got this working by adding the disk to server b, checking drive name in dmesg and then updating the fstab on server b. Many thanks again.

HI, I will be fine with the 'physical' connection of the disk it just what would i expect to have to do on 'server b' to let it see the disk and mount the filesystems. I am a AIX/SOlaris/Hp guy and havent really played with Linux so i just need some tips/advice. Normally i would be looking at...

Have a Red HAt 9 server with a data disk that i need to put into another server and preserve the data on it. Problem is we have no way of backing up the data from this disk. Can anyone offer some advice on how i go about physicall adding the disk from server a to server b whilst still keeping...

As far as i am aware you cannot do this, certainly with thre HP boxes i have worked on. It may be worth looking into the cleanup command which can get rid of superceded patches thus giving you some space. I have a rough doc on the increase of /var below, if it is of any use to you. Do the...

Got it working. Installed bos.sysmgt.sysbr.4.3.2.4.bff and it works fine now. Thanks for your input :)

Hi Broep02, Had some progress on this. Tried playing with block size but it made no difference (looked at the mksysb script and it does a chdev to 512 automatically). Tried removing and readding the drive (good idea) but this made no difference. I then found that there is a bug in 4.3.0 which...

Thanks for the reply, i tried the command line route (using rmt1) and i get the same. Smit seems to select the drive (rmt1) and then automatically use rmt1.1 Any more ideas? TIA.

Hi , Could anyone advise please? Running AIX 4.3 and attempting to run a mksysb and it comes back with: Creating information file (/image.data) for rootvg... Creating tape boot image.................... /dev/rmt1.1 fsf 3 failed: There is an input or output error. 0512-044 mksysb: Cannot...

Hi, I have a HP 2200 printer that looks to be set to 64 lines per page but i want to set it to 66. I am playing with Esc codes but if i enter two lines of Esc codes at the top of my text file the printer accepts them and does what is told but prints two blank lines where my escape codes...

Hi , I have set expiry and 'days to warn user' for a user which works fine, but (isnt there always one!) the 'days left before passwd expires' message appears and then shoots off the screen . I need either a pause so this stays on the screen before launching any profile (tried putting a...

I have a unix print queue that prints out to a file. I then need that file to be printed out in 17cpi. How do i do this? I cannot use -ocpi=17 as the model i am using just basically copies the file. The printer is a Panasonic Dot Matrix. I belive i have found the Hex (0f) to set to 17cpi but...

I have changed the permissions of the file admintool from rwxrwxrwx to rws r r and it seems to be working...to a point. I can now get to a stage that i can add a user but i gives duplicate/in use UID errors. I am sure i have seen this somewhere before so i will have a hunt around. Many thanks to...
