FTP Speed Problem on IBM P-Series equiped with AIX 5.2

Hi, We have IBM P-Series servers (P690, P650) equiped with AIX 5.2. Further we have 10/100 MB ethernet cards in P650 and 10/100/1000 MB ethernet cards in P690 servers. Servers are on a LAN connected with Cisco 3750 catalyst switch. FTP from one server to another is very slow,,,even 3-4 MB...

IBM Hardware question

I am looking to buy a 7044 - either a 170 or 270. From what I can find on web searchs the 170 is NOT upgradable to more that one CPU? Is that correct? Can I upgrade the planer on a 170 to a 270 to support multiple CPU's? Does anyone have any other suggestion for AIX hardware?

core dump generation in IBM machine

Hi, im getting a core dump file in a AIX machine while using a complex c++ program. The same program is working without any core error in another system with sun OS 5.9. The program has used structs, LL's and lots of call by references. What may be the reason. will it be a problem with the OS ?

trpfpe

TRPFPE(3F)																TRPFPE(3F)

NAME

       trpfpe, fpecnt - trap and repair floating point faults

SYNOPSIS

       subroutine trpfpe (numesg, rtnval)
       double precision rtnval

       integer function fpecnt ()

       common /fpeflt/ fperr
       logical fperr

DESCRIPTION

       NOTE: This routine applies only to Vax computers.  It is a null routine on the PDP11.

       Trpfpe sets up a signal handler to trap arithmetic exceptions.  If the exception is due to a floating point arithmetic fault, the result of
       the operation is replaced with the rtnval specified.  Rtnval must be a double precision value. For example, ``0d0'' or ``dflmax()''.

       The first numesg occurrences of a floating point arithmetic error will cause a message to be written  to  the  standard	error  file.   Any
       exception that can't be repaired will result in the default action, typically an abort with core image.

       Fpecnt returns the number of faults since the last call to trpfpe.

       The logical value in the common block labelled fpeflt will be set to .true.  each time a fault occurs.

FILES

       /usr/lib/libF77.a

SEE ALSO

       signal(3F), range(3F)

BUGS

       This routine works only for faults, not traps.  This is primarily due to the Vax architecture.

       If  the	operation  involves  changing the stack pointer, it can't be repaired.	This seldom should be a problem with the f77 compiler, but
       such an operation might be produced by the optimizer.

       The POLY and EMOD opcodes are not dealt with.
