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:

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)

BI2CF(6)BI2CF(6)NAME
bi2cf - a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields
SYNOPSIS
bi2cf mapname [-p 1|2] [-f b|1|2|h] [-l] [-t mapname] [-i mapinfo] [-o outfile] [-d mapdir] [-O destdir] [-q]
bi2cf {-h | -v}
DESCRIPTION
bi2cf is a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields. It takes the data files of maps from Battle Isle, Battle Isle Data Disk 1 or 2, or
History Line 1914-1918 and converts them into map sources usable with the cfed(6) map compiler for Crimson Fields. bi2cf can handle both
uncompressed maps and levels crunched with TPWM.
For some units and tiles there are no corresponding counterparts in Crimson Fields. These cases are mapped to similar ones if available. As
a result some maps will not be as balanced as the originals, others may be unwinnable, and still others may even fail to compile. If this
happens the map in question needs to be adjusted manually.
OPTIONS -d mapdir
Set the location of the Battle Isle map files.
-f b|1|2|h
Force map type to Battle Isle / BI Data Disk 1 / BI Data Disk 2 / History Line, respectively. Use this option when map format
autodetection does not work correctly. Maps from BI Data Disk 1 will always be detected as standard Battle Isle maps, so you have to use
-f 1 in that case.
-h
Print a usage message on standard output and exit.
-i mapinfo
Set map info message.
-l
Skip last row and column of the map. This is necessary for maps from the PC version of Battle Isle.
-o outfile
Write map to file outfile. Default file name is mapname.src.
-O destdir
Set target directory for the converted map. This setting is ignored if a map name was given using the -t option.
-p 1|2
Set default number of players for this map.
-q
Run quietly. Don't print processing information on standard output.
-t mapname
Set title and file name for the converted map. Default is maptype-mapname.
-v
Print version information on standard output and exit.
