Well the "extendvg" should of worked so something else is amiss in the system you're working on.
You can try the following:
If the hdisks are back ok, then re-do the command --> extendvg rootvg hdisk0.
If it still fails something else is hosed. Look at the errlog (command is --> errpt), it should give a clue. If not, then I'd suggest getting IBM support on the phone and work thru it with them.
Hi.
I'm trying to reinstall AIX 4.3.3 (ML9) on an IBM PC 850 PowerPC machine but I have trouble getting an SMS diskette that will let me set the CD as bootable.
The SMS diskette I have is 1.26 and it either crashes or lists Hard Disk 0 some 20 + times (and nothing else) on the screen you... (2 Replies)
We have a Red Hat linux server running on IBM x445 hardware. There are external disks in an IBM EXP300 disk enclosure. The system is running RAID 5. One of the four IBM disks (73.4 GB 10k FRU 06P5760) has become faulty. The system is still up and running OK because of the RAID. In that same EXP300... (3 Replies)
Anyone can help me answer the question.
Why does they use Linux on IBM pSeries not AIX.
I can't understand why, cause AIX is the best supporting from IBM pSeries.
Tks you. (3 Replies)
Hi ,
I am planing to buy IBM pSeries Power5 9111-285 1,9 GHz but I am confused with few things. I would be happy if you could clear it up for me ?

Hidey Ho Folks,
Looking to buy a pServer for playing around with the IBM side of things. Looked around for a bit and notice that there is a significant price gap for the used 570's (Single Units) vs the 520's and 550's that folks are selling. Curious what to watch out for in either case? And... (6 Replies)
Hi There,
I have zero information and zero knowledge for IBM virtual machine except Amazon cloud and VMware ESXi (Only Linux OS available).
Anyone could provide me the following answer -
Can IBM VM been deploy on X86 and X64 (Intel Chip)?
If answer is yes any chance to deploy AIX OS... (13 Replies)
Hi,
when I boot I get an E1DC error code. I've looked it up and it says that this error occurs during the firmware check. But the error is called "Dynamic Console Selection" .

llc2_loop
llc2_loop(1M) System Administration Commands llc2_loop(1M)NAME
llc2_loop - loopback diagnostics to test the driver, adapter and network.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/llc2/llc2_loop2 [-v] ppa
/usr/lib/llc2/llc2_loop3 ppa sap frames
/usr/lib/llc2/llc2_loop3 ppa type frames
/usr/lib/llc2/llc2_loop4 [-v] ppa
DESCRIPTION
Loop 2
The loop2 test sends a NULL XID frame to the broadcast (all 1's) destination MAC address. The source SAP (Service Access Point) value used
is 0x04 (SNA's SAP). Therefore, if SNA is running on the system, the loop2 test will fail. The destination SAP value is the NULL SAP(0x00). This test finds out who is listening and can receive frames sent out from a node. The verbose (-v) option displays the MAC address
of responding nodes. All possible responders may not be displayed, since the loop2 test only waits for responses for 2 seconds, but during
this time 50-200 nodes may be displayed. The most likely error is:
Unexpected DLPI primitive x, expected y.
where x = 5 and y = 6. From /usr/include/sys/dlpi.h, the expected return value from one of the DLPI primitives is 6 (DL_OK_ACK), but
instead a 5 (DL_ERROR_ACK) was received. This can occur for two reasons:
o The loop2 command was issued to a non-existent PPA (Physical Point of Attachment).
o The SAP(0x04) is already in use (for example, the SNA subsystem is up).
Loop 3
The loop3 test sends 1,495 byte Unnumbered Information (UI) frames to the NULL (all 0's) destination MAC address. This should be used
along with data capture either on the local node or another node on the same LAN to verify the transmission of data. The ppa argument spec-
ifies the adapter on which to run the test. The ppa is the relative physical position of the adapter and may be ascertained by viewing
the adapter configuration (see llc2_config(1)). For Token Ring or Ethernet, specify an even sap value from 2 through 254, or, for Ethernet
only, any type value from 1519(0x05ef) through 65535(0xffff). It is advised to pick a value that is easily recognized when the data cap-
ture output is viewed.
frames is the decimal number of 1,495 bytes packets to transmit. The test will only display a message if a failure occurs.
Loop 4
The loop4 test sends a TEST frame (no information field) to the broadcast (all 1's) destination MAC address. The source SAP value used is
0x04 (SNA's SAP). Therefore, if SNA is running on the system, the loop4 test will fail. The destination SAP value is the NULL SAP(0x00).
This test finds out who is listening and can receive frames sent out from a node. The verbose (-v) option displays the MAC address of
responding nodes. All possible responders may not be displayed since the loop4 test only waits for responses for 2 seconds, but during
this time 50-200 nodes may be displayed. The loop4 test displays information similar to the following example if other nodes are listening
and respond (verbose mode):
-Attaching
-Binding
-Sending TEST
-Responders
1-0000c0c12449
2-08000e142990
3-08000e142a51
4-0000c0450044
5-0000c0199e46
-Unbinding
-Detaching
5 nodes responding
The errors displayed are the same as for loop2.
