mirroring ssa to san

Hi guys,

I'd like to share my migration/mirroring of ssa to san. No downtime for users, probably I/O performance.

here's the step:

1 After the lun had been carved on the SAN and the connections had been done on AIX fiber card
2 “lspv” and look for the new SAN hdisk? on the bottom, say hdisk33
3 look for the first vg of ssa, vg9 is one of the volume from ssa disks, it is hdisk18, vg9 is a type raid 5 on ssa with multiple pdisk*
4 issue this “chvg –t 2 vg9”, might give warning, say yes
5 go to “Set Characteristics of a Volume Group” and “Add a Physical Volume to a Volume Group”, put the [vg9] and [hdisk33], enter or you can use "extendvg vg9 hdisk33"
6 you can go to Mirror a volume group, but it will fail on aix 43, but I think it will execute on AIX 5.x/6.x, do the copy of LV instead next
7 get all LV of vg9 with "lsvg -l vg9"
8 smitty lvm, go to L V, go to “Set Characteristic of a Logical Volume” and “Add a Copy to a Logical Volume”, put the LVname, put 2,put the two hdisks [hdisk18 hdisk33], then enter or you can use "mklvcopy LVname 2 hdisk18 hdisk33"
9 it will fail [except loglv], change it first, go to "Change a Logical Volume", put the LVname and put the "M N of P V" to 2, enter or you can use "chlv -u 2 LVname"
10 go back to LV copy #8, it should continue now
11 continue with smitty syncvg, select “Synchronize by Logical Volume”, or you can use "syncvg -l LVname"
12 continue with the rest of the LVs
13 continue with the next VG, and so on.

After each lv sync, you should check if it's sync with "lsvg -l LVname". It should change from stale to sync.

Regards,
itik

RS6000 SSA Raid question

Hi Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume? It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter. I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume. Thanks.

gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name(3) 			      gnutls				   gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name(3)

NAME

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, unsigned int seq, void * san, size_t * san_size, unsigned int * critical);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
		   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

       unsigned int seq
		   specifies the sequence number of the alt name (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.)

       void * san  is the place where the alternative name will be copied to

       size_t * san_size
		   holds the size of san.

       unsigned int * critical
		   will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical (may be null)

DESCRIPTION

       This function retrieves the Alternative Name (2.5.29.17), contained in the given certificate in the X509v3 Certificate Extensions.

       When the SAN type is otherName, it will extract the data in the otherName's value field, and GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME is returned.  You may use
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid() to get the corresponding OID and the "virtual" SAN types (e.g., GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP).

       If an otherName OID is known, the data will be decoded.	Otherwise the returned data will be DER encoded, and you will have  to	decode	it
       yourself.  Currently, only the RFC 3920 id-on-xmppAddr SAN is recognized.

RETURNS

       the  alternative  subject  name	type on success, one of the enumerated gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t.	It will return GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEM-
       ORY_BUFFER if  san_size is not large enough to hold the value.  In that case  san_size will be updated with the required size.  If the cer-
       tificate does not have an Alternative name with the specified sequence number then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.
