Hey guys,
since AIX 5.3 reaches EOS on april 2012, I really need to update my systems asap.
Any experience on upgrading directly to 7.1, with sap/db2/oracle?
could do fresh installs and import my sap/db vgs, but this would be a lot of work

Hi all,
I have this weird notion that upgrading the TL does not cause the machine to wipe, but upgrading a major version (from aix 6 to 7) means it's actually a fresh install and will wipe the date and i have to install the software again (TSM server, for instance). Trying to google it, i came... (3 Replies)

add_txrx
ADD_TXRX(1) General Commands Manual ADD_TXRX(1)
NAME
add_txrx - add two new Data Sources called 'tx' and 'rx' to an RRD file
SYNOPSIS
add_txrx <file> ...
DESCRIPTION
This utility is used when upgrading from FlowScan-1.005 (or less) to FlowScan-1.006 (or greater). It is used to add two new Data Sources
to FlowScan ".rrd" files. e.g.:
$ make install # install FlowScan-1.006 in your existing FlowScan dir
$ cd $prefix/graphs
$ add_txrx total.rrd *.*.*.*_*.rrd
tx - a count of the unique source IP addresses
that have transmitted flows
rx - a count of the unique destination IP addresses
that have received flows
These Data Sources will allows FlowScan users to calculate the average number of bytes, packets, and flows per host and to determine the
overall level of activity (in terms of numbers of individual hosts) for each subnet and for the entire campus.
The values will be recorded only if you use the TopN directive with the CampusIO and/or SubNetIO reports. TopN was introduced in FlowS-
can-1.006.
For instance, if you set CampusIO's TopN to a value greater than zero, the tx value in FlowScan's "total.rrd" is the number of unique
source IP addresses (hosts) from which FlowScan has seen outbound flows.
Upgrading your RRD Files
If you are upgrading, it is necessary to add two new Data Sources to the some of your existing RRD files. Before running flowscan, backup
your RRD files, e.g.:
$ cd $prefix/graphs
$ tar cf saved_rrd_files.tar *.rrd
then do this:
$ cd $prefix/graphs
$ ../bin/add_txrx total.rrd [1-9]*.*.*.*_*.rrd
