It depends quite what you are looking for. Do any of these help (sorry but I no longer have access to AIX so I'm a bit rusty!)lspv

Hi,
please check out this link (https://developer.ibm.com/articles/au-aix-raid/) and see if that works - our boxes come always preconfigured, so I cannot guarantee for it :)

Basically you have three types of memory in an AIX system: "used" and "unused" and the "used" category divides into two parts: "computational" and "file" memory.

"unused" is memory the kernel has...

please see this link HOWTO: analyze memory usage on AIX, aka svmon << 101 >> AIX – My AIX Cheatsheet (http://nixys.fr/blog/?p=1609)

Look at the quoted output above: the lspv commands lists not only the disks but also to which VG they belong to. i.e. hdisk7, hdisk8, hdisk9, etc. all belong to the volume group vg_3. The two...

PowerVM is "POWER Virtual Machines" and the VIOS is an important component. The POWER firmware is also a component, and back in POWER5 times, there was a component that emulated Intel x286...

TL = technical level
You have versions and releases and i suppose you know about these. Below this are "technical levels", which (very roughly) correspond to what is known as a "service pack" in...

sudo readvgda hdisk0

empty disks will show something like

Invalid lvm_rec!

altinst_rootvg is the name to the alternate rootvg you can boot from, as backup don't make boot disks... So not sure what results you can expect from what you done so far.

"Enterprise edition" means you can define and run LPARs with more than 4 cores and more than 32GB of memory. In daily business the difference between standard and enterprise (AFAIK "express"...

So there's a bit of homework to be done here.
First your Power7frame should have the split backplane feature. Your IBM sales rep should be able to tell if that frame is capable of it. This will let...

For sake of argument I'm going to assume HMC's are V8.1 or lower so we can use the 'Classic' interface. I have nothing newer so can't provide accurate setup beyond 8.1. I know IBM has brought back...

I have no idea how to set up a NIM server on a Linux machine, but i can give you some directions about NIM concepts in general. It is not much work, in fact it is really easy.

General information...

Thanks for trying....

It was a long shot, but sometimes we do get lucky :)

It's been a few years, but I will try. It's a bit of a memory dump I'm afraid :o Do you have serial console access to the Service Processor of the chassis? You would need a serial connection in at...

Here are the different process state codes and description:-

D Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
R Running or runnable (on run queue)
S Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to...

You can do that without risk online. I suggest you do it when the load is light (because for the time it takes performance is decreased) but in principle you can do it at any time without...
