Regarding Upgrading RAM in AIX 6.1
Hi Folks,
Currently we are having the below configuration in one of our AIX 6.1 server.
RAM:- 8 GB
Paging space :- 19 GB
CPU processor:- 1
CPU type: 64 bit
But we would like to upgrade the configuration to below to improve the system performance and resolve some memory issues.
RAM:- 32 GB
paging space: 40 GB
CPU processor :-1
Could you please confirm and let us know the below points.?
1.) Is This configuraion is with 1 CPU processor will be possible.?
2.) Can we see any perfomance with 1 CPU core or any impact?
3.) There will be any limitation in CPU core if we upgrade the RAM to 32 GB?
~Have a Good Day
Thank You,
Suman B

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).

pi_stress
pi_stress(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual pi_stress(8)
NAME
pi_stress - a stress test for POSIX Priority Inheritance mutexes
SYNOPSIS
pi_stress [-i|--inversions inversions] [-t|--duration seconds] [-g|--groups groups [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-s|--signal] [-r|--rr]
[-p|--prompt] [-m|--mlockall] [-u|--uniprocessor]
pi_stress -h|--help
DESCRIPTION
pi_stress is a program used to stress the priority-inheritance code paths for POSIX mutexes, in both the Linux kernel and the C library. It
runs as a realtime-priority task and launches inversion machine thread groups. Each inversion group causes a priorty inversion condition
that will deadlock if priority inheritance doesn't work.
OPTIONS
-i n|--inversions=n
Run for n number of inversion conditions. This is the total number of inversions for all inversion groups. Default is -1 for infi-
nite.
-t n|--duration=n
Run the test for n seconds and then terminate.
-g n|--groups=n
The number of inversion groups to run. Defaults to 10.
-d|--debug
Run in debug mode; lots of extra prints
-v|--verbose
Run with verbose messages
-s|--signal
Terminate on receipt of SIGTERM (Ctrl-C). Default is to terminate on any keypress.
-r|--rr
Run inversion group threads as SCHED_RR (round-robin). The default is to run the inversion threads as SCHED_FIFO.
-p|--prompt
Prompt before actually starting the stress test
-u|--uniprocessor
Run all threads on one processor. The default is to run all inversion group threads on one processor and the admin threads (report-
ing thread, keyboard reader, etc.) on a different processor.
-m|--mlockall
Call mlockall to lock current and future memory allocations and prevent being paged out
-h|--help
Display a short help message and options.
CAVEATS
The pi_stress test threads run as SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR threads, which means that they can starve critical system threads. It is advisable
to change the scheduling policy of critical system threads to be SCHED_FIFO prior to running pi_stress and use a priority of 10 or higher,
to prevent those threads from being starved by the stress test.
BUGS
No documented bugs.
