ssa performances

Helo:
We updated form AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.1-7 and after this we spent more than double time in read from external disks. Aparently the ssa cards microcode is at last level and all the ptf and apars are instaled.

Out backups expent more than double time, but curiously in read only, if we write in the external disk the performances are correct.

Please, Does anybody know somthing about this?

Thank you
Javier

RS6000 SSA Raid question

Hi Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume? It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter. I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume. Thanks. (1 Reply)

NAME
microcode_ctl - microcode utility for Intel IA32 processors SYNOPSIS
microcode_ctl [-h] [-i] [-u [-q]] [-Q] [-f microcode] DESCRIPTION
The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode driver written by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@veritas.com>. The utility has two uses: a) it decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded to Intel IA32 processors. (Pentium Pro, PII, Celeron, PIII, Xeon, Pentium 4 etc) b) it signals the kernel driver to release the buffers containing the copy of microcode data actually applied to given CPU, linear array of 2048 bytes per CPU, see struct microcode in include/asm/processor.h for information on the layout of chunks buffers may hold The microcode update is volatile and needs to be uploaded on each system boot i.e. it doesn't reflash your cpu permanently, reboot and it reverts back to the old microcode. -h display usage and exit -i release any buffers held in microcode driver -u upload microcode (from default filename) -f upload microcode from named Intel formatted file -q run silently when successful -Q run silently even on failure EXAMPLE
