I responded at System's magazine - in the hope more of IBM will see that. My concluding remark is:
Quote:
And to the case of the customer and /var full. Clearly a bug which I hope IBM addresses quickly. The way the PMR is reported does not sound like it is being properly addressed by IBM support -- as a HMC bug. - As an appliance the HMC should be able to do what needs to be done to ensure that communication between HMC and Service Processors is not interrupted. Period -- regardless of any policy re: root (in)access(ability)
There is actually, or perhaps was, an easy path to become root by opening a PMR. And, in a prior life - as an AIX instructor I taught customers (aka students) how to open a PMR (we did so during the class) - and I also showed how to reuse the password from the previous class (officially the passwords are only valid from midnight to midnight of the day issued - guess how to reuse it :P)
While I can understand the desire for root on HMC I long decided I would not even 'desire' it - but take IBM at it's word about being an appliance and making sure - read demand - it work as an appliance.
I am quite capable of changing a pump in a car, washing machine or heating system. I am quite capable of administrating an HMC as root. However, all of these devices are sold and serviced by the sellar as an applicance. If the pump is not working - I expect someone asap (per terms of the SLA) to replace the pump.
(Hope you like my metaphor!)

apache::session::store::oracle
Session::Store::Oracle(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Session::Store::Oracle(3)
NAME
Apache::Session::Store::Oracle - Store persistent data in a Oracle database
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Store::Oracle;
my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::Oracle;
$store->insert($ref);
$store->update($ref);
$store->materialize($ref);
$store->remove($ref);
DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::Store::Oracle fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. Session data is stored in a Oracle database.
SCHEMA
To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called 'sessions':
id varchar2(32) # or however long your session IDs are.
a_session long
To create this schema, you can execute this command using the sqlplus program:
CREATE TABLE sessions (
id varchar2(32) not null primary key,
a_session long
);
If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on the table's id column.
CONFIGURATION
The module must know what datasource, username, and password to use when connecting to the database. These values can be set using the
options hash (see Apache::Session documentation). The options are DataSource, UserName, and Password.
Example:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:database',
UserName => 'database_user',
Password => 'K00l'
};
Instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database.
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
Handle => $dbh
};
The last option is LongReadLen, which specifies the maximum size of the session object. If not supplied, the default maximum size is 8 KB.
