Hi,
Installing a new version of PROGRESS DB software 9.1c requires us to upgrade AIX to Level Update 4320-02_AIX_ML
( http://techweb.progress.com/kbase/19779 )
How would a do this savely.
This is what i have already.
1) take a system backup.
2) find the level we are on right now.

Hello,
we have an 7015-R40, we want to update AIX.
oslevel shows 4.3.2.0
At ibm.com we found following
AIX 4300-11 maintenance package
Recommended maintenance for AIX 4.3.3
It's possible to update the system with this file or does we need another source?
Thank you!

Hi Guys,
It's me again with this unending support of AIX43 ML 9.
I finally able to test a migration from SSA to SAN, no problem. One problem, I bought some expansion of DS4300, two arrays. The IBM tech told me that before I can connect to the existing DS4300, I need to upgrade the firmware... (1 Reply)

Hi All,
I need to do maintenance on the SAN. Do I need to shutdown AIX as well? Or I can just unmount the SAN-FS and let the SAN reboot or do maintenance mode. And then when SAN is up, just mount it back.
Is that simple it is or not?
Thanks in advance,

cpucontrol
CPUCONTROL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CPUCONTROL(8)
NAME
cpucontrol -- control utility for the cpuctl(4) device
SYNOPSIS
cpucontrol [-vh] -m msr device
cpucontrol [-vh] -m msr=value device
cpucontrol [-vh] -m msr&=mask device
cpucontrol [-vh] -m msr|=mask device
cpucontrol [-vh] -i level device
cpucontrol [-vh] -i level,level_type device
cpucontrol [-vh] [-d datadir] -u device
DESCRIPTION
The cpucontrol utility can be used to read and write arbitrary machine-specific CPU registers via the cpuctl(4) special device. It can also
be used to apply CPU firmware updates.
The following options are available:
-d datadir
Where to look for microcode images. The option can be specified multiple times.
-m msr[=value]
Show value of the specified MSR. MSR register number should be given as a hexadecimal number.
-m msr=value
Store the value in the specified MSR register. The value argument can be prefixed with ~ operator. In this case the inverted value
of argument will be stored in the register.
-m msr&=mask
Store the result of bitwise AND operation between mask and the current MSR value in the MSR register. The mask argument can be pre-
fixed with ~ operator. In this case the inverted value of mask will be used.
-m msr|=mask
Store the result of bitwise OR operation between mask and the current MSR value in the MSR register. The mask argument can be pre-
fixed with ~ operator. In this case the inverted value of mask will be used.
-i level
Retrieve CPUID info. Level should be given as a hex number.
-i level,level_type
Retrieve CPUID info. Level and level_type should be given as hex numbers.
-u Apply CPU firmware updates. The cpucontrol utility will walk through the configured data directories and apply all firmware updates
available for this CPU.
-v Increase the verbosity level.
-h Show help message.
EXIT STATUS
The cpucontrol utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
The command
``cpucontrol -m 0x10 /dev/cpuctl0''
will read the contents of TSC MSR from CPU 0.
To set the CPU 0 TSC MSR register value to 0x1 issue
``cpucontrol -m 0x10=0x1 /dev/cpuctl0''.
The following command will clear the second bit of TSC register:
``cpucontrol -m 0x10&=~0x02 /dev/cpuctl0''.
The following command will set the forth and second bit of TSC register:
``cpucontrol -m 0x10|=0x0a /dev/cpuctl0''.
The command
``cpucontrol -i 0x1 /dev/cpuctl1''
will retrieve the CPUID level 0x1 from CPU 1.
To perform firmware updates on CPU 0 from images located at /usr/local/share/cpuctl/ use the following command:
``cpucontrol -d /usr/local/share/cpuctl/ -u /dev/cpuctl0''
SEE ALSO

HISTORY
The cpucontrol utility first appeared in FreeBSD 7.2.
