AIX firmware password woes!!
Hi Blackrageous, Is it simply a case of setting the switch and then I have a machine I can switch on, set a new firmware password and up and away re-install AIX? The machine isn't currently networked and when I set it up it will just be to an internet router.
Thanks

Good Day,
I've remotely mounted a cdrom (no problems theere). The kicker is I can see the directories on the remote CD bout I can't see the files. What am I doing wrong? I'm logged in as root on both systems. All the permissions seem okay - what am I missing? Thanks (2 Replies)

fence_vixel(8) System Manager's Manual fence_vixel(8)
NAME
fence_vixel - I/O Fencing agent for Vixel FC switches
SYNOPSIS
fence_vixel [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_vixel is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with Vixel FC switches. It logs into a Vixel switch via telnet and removes the spec-
ified port from the zone. Removing the zone access from the port disables the port from being able to access the storage.
fence_vixel accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_vixel can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.
After a fence operation has taken place the fenced machine can no longer connect to the Vixel FC switch. When the fenced machine is ready
to be brought back into the GFS cluster (after reboot) the port on the Vixel FC switch needs to be enabled. In order to do this, log into
the Vixel FC switch. Then go to:
config->zones->config <port> <comma-separated-list-of-ports-in-the-zone>
Then apply
