We are looking at running MPIO for it's redundancy and load balancing benefits. Does anyone know what pieces of software or modules are needed on the VIO server to get load balancing to work. Remember we are using EMC's DMX3500 storage system. We no longer want to use Powerpath. :rolleyes: ... (2 Replies)
Hi All,
The path requires me to go Single User mode. On single user mode, the patch still won't continue:
dhcpagent supports a new keyword in /etc/default/dhcpagent.
Please merge the existing /etc/default/dhcpagent with the
patched version of /etc/default/dhcpagent shipped with this... (2 Replies)
Hi folks,
does anybody have a link to a documentation how to implement native MPIO on AIX? We are using EMC PowerPath and Datacore SanSymphony/Cambex for this so far and I wasn't able to find a good description on that topic. All I know so far is that mkpath, chpath and lspath are used to... (3 Replies)
Hello All,
After creating lpp_source/spot from AIX 5.3TL6-07 DVD on the NIM(AIX6.1), I went online and download the fix pack for reaching TL8-04. (it was less than 200Mgegs total)
then I did define a newer lpp_source530TL8-04 via a copy from the older lpp_source530TL6-07 (I diduse a command... (2 Replies)
On a particular LPAR, I was running AIX 5.3 TL 3. On Monday I did an update of the LPAR to 5.3 TL 9 SP2. The install was smooth, but then I ran into a problem.
The MPIO driver does not work with LSI's StoreAge (SVM4). I did some looking, and looks like
5.3 TL3 = IBM.MPIO 5.3.0.30

Hi,
we have a vew boxes using MPIO and they are connected to some virtualization software managing some disk subsystems, offering volumes to the AIX boxes.
Sometimes when a cable has been plugged out for a test or when a real problem occurs, using lspath to show the state of the paths shows... (8 Replies)
Hello,
we are planning to deploy some of our databases on AIX/LPAR based servers (we didn't bought it yet ...). IBM's engineers says that if we want to boot them from SAN the hardware array has to be compatible with MPIO but they don't want to deliver any document with list of arrays supported... (5 Replies)

dvdfs(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual dvdfs(4)NAME
dvdfs - The Digital Versatile Disk File System [This feature is not supported in Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0]
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
ISO/ITEC 13346:1995
Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA) Universal Disk Format (UDF) Specification, "OSTA UDF Compliant Domain", Version 2.00.
ISO 9660:1988
Information Processing-Volume and file structure of CD-ROM for information interchange.
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
The Digital Versatile Disk File System enables the reading of disks formatted in the Universal Disk Format (UDF).
User data sectors in a DVD-ROM can contain any type of data in any format. However, for Tru64 UNIX support through the dvdfs file system,
the OSTA UDF file format standard is mandatory. The file system limit for DVDFS is int cfs_cdfs_mount_limit = 512.
Additionally, DVD-ROM standards require that the logical sector size and the logical block (the user data block) size be 2048 bytes.
DVD support in the UDF specification includes these levels: DVD-ROM (Read-only):
Supports reading of UDF-formated files from DVD-ROM disks. DVD-R (Write-once):
Supports the reading of UDF-formated files from a DVD-ROM disk and supports writing, one time, UDF-formated files onto a DVD-ROM
disk. DVD-RAM (Rewritable):
Supports reading and writing of UDF-formated files from and to a DVD-ROM disk.
At this time, the Tru64 UNIX dvdfs file system supports only the DVD-ROM (Read-only) format.
See mount(8) for information about mounting and unmounting a dvdfs file system, fstab(4) for information about including dvdfs file system
in a system's /etc/fstab file, and disklabel(8) for information about labeling DVD-ROM disks.
