I have compiled FreeTDS on AIX 5.3. Its my dev environment so I have c compilers on the box so I was able to compile. From the test environment onwards I will not be able to have c compilers. I tried to move these files directly to the test environment with the same directory structure but I am getting errors like not able to load libraries etc., but those files are present over there.

Is there a way to move these files over to another server, without compiling as RPM.

I'm having trouble with my SAN devices on AIX 5.3 so I would like to remove the SAN devices and HBAs. Then I want to recreate them with cfgmgr and see if this solves my problem.

So I have the following SAN devices:

Code:

# lsdev | grep fcs

fcs0           Available 07-08         FC Adapter

fcs1           Available 01-08         FC Adapter

 

 

# lsdev | grep 07-08

dac0           Available 07-08-02      1722-600 (600) Disk Array Controller

dac1           Available 07-08-02      1722-600 (600) Disk Array Controller

fcnet0         Defined   07-08-01      Fibre Channel Network Protocol Device

fcs0           Available 07-08         FC Adapter

fscsi0         Available 07-08-02      FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device

hdisk2         Available 07-08-02      MPIO Other FC SCSI Disk Drive

 

# lsdev | grep 01-08

dac2           Available 01-08-02      1722-600 (600) Disk Array Controller

dac3           Available 01-08-02      1722-600 (600) Disk Array Controller

fcnet1         Defined   01-08-01      Fibre Channel Network Protocol Device

fcs1           Available 01-08         FC Adapter

fscsi1         Available 01-08-02      FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device

rmt1           Available 01-08-02      IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

smc0           Available 01-08-02      IBM 3573 Tape Medium Changer (FCP)

Step one is removing fcs0 and all child devices with

Code:

# rmdev -Rdl fcs0

fcnet0 deleted

dac0 deleted

dac1 deleted

fscsi0 deleted

fcs0 deleted

Next step is to remove fcs1 and all child devices with

Code:

# rmdev -Rdl fcs1

hdisk2 deleted

Method error (/etc/methods/ucfgdac):

        0514-062 Cannot perform the requested function because the

                 specified device is busy.

and then it stops removing devices so I decided to remove the devices manually.

Code:

# rmdev -dl fcnet1

fcnet1 deleted

# rmdev -dl rmt1

rmt1 deleted

# rmdev -dl smc0

smc0 deleted

# rmdev -dl dac2

dac2 deleted

# rmdev -dl dac3

Method error (/etc/methods/ucfgdac):

        0514-062 Cannot perform the requested function because the

                 specified device is busy.

# rmdev -dl fscsi1

Method error (/usr/lib/methods/ucfgdevice):

        0514-029 Cannot perform the requested function because a

                 child device of the specified device is not in a correct state.

# rmdev -dl fcs1

Method error (/usr/lib/methods/ucfgcommo):

        0514-029 Cannot perform the requested function because a

                 child device of the specified device is not in a correct state.

So this didn't work. Then I tried a reboot but after the reboot I still have the same problems.

To my knowledge, there are no more SAN devices in the system. What is preventing the system from removing dac3, fscsi1 and fcs1? How can I find out and how do I remove these devices?

We have a BI shop that uses a shared ETL server and a database cluster for the EDW and several different data marts catering to individual business groups.

Of late, we have noticed that a lot of sloppy code has crept in and the ETL server (and sometimes the DB as well) seems to be maxing out on CPU and memory. The indvidual business groups do not want to sponsor any effort to clean the code up - because as they see it, they are getting their reports - however, for IT management, continuing with the existing infrastructure is getting less realistic every day. Of course, our immediate solution is to get budgeted for more hardware (little more memory and re-org our IO).

However, we dont want to find ourselves in this situation again. I was thinking we could define AIX limitations to CPU, and memory to restrict the resource consumption of the individual business applications on the ETL server to a reasonable maximum - and if they need more, have business budget for the additional resources needed.

I meant to ask around how is this working out for others on the forum? Is this a problem at all?
