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...

Hi,

the below is what our tips and tricks sheet says about doing this. I haven't tested it though since we do not have physical access to our boxes anyway. But you might want to give it a try?

Sorry for the late answer, somehow this thread escaped my notice.

The lslpp-command is your friend, as you could have found out if you read its man page:

lslpp -f <package>

Will list all...

First, before anything else, backup your data and make sure it is recoverable in a usable way.
Two tested copies at least.

Looking at this part ....# lspv -l hdisk1

Yes, the IPs are active. Who tells you for sure that they are the service processors? They could be all sorts of systems, yes?



OK, you have highlighted something, let me highlight something...

I didn't mean errpt. In the IVM menu you find a point reading "Serviceable Events" or similar - look there. This is the "errpt of the hardware".

I hope this helps.

a little bit waiting (till summer 2017) would help, I think ;-)

Daylight saving time - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time)

You would need to change the date of the server for this to be effective. Setting the system clock to April 2017 would do the trick, but that might have unwanted impact. Additionally you would need...

What you could pursue - is IBM (pre-)sales - as you may or may not have your Linux support via IBM.

Developers are probably not the correct "venue" as, afaik, IBM is not really "developing" on...

Before I chuck my couple of cents worth into the bucket here, a quick précis on me and what I’m doing at the moment.

I’m nearing retirement, I’ve worked on a huge range of equipment – for a long...

Amen. You are right, but i think you are missing the point: first, a determined "non-expert" (to avoid words more to the point) will be able to mess up anything. As i said, when locking him out of...

I'll chip in... discussion is very welcome.

A large number of Power sysadmin are simply not able, or capable, of doing their jobs.

When they get their hands on an HMC (let alone large corporate...

Why Do We Need Root on the HMC?

In this article in IBMSystems Magazine (http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/AIXchange/April-2016/Why-Don-t-We-Have-Root-on-the-HMC-/) Rob McNelly asked the question...

if you can bring your systems offline:

1. add VLAN 31 to the network switch ports.
2. configure a new virtual adapter for VLAN 31 on both of your VIOSes.
3. configure the virtual adapter into...

What do you think?
Did you try?
What happened?
Are ent4 and 5 NIB or 802.3ad?
What do you want to know - we need details.............

Try (untested):
gunzip XX | tar xf - 2>&1 | tee ZZ

There are several advantages of IVE/HEA over Virtual Ethernet.

First: CPU Load. Using IVE costs considerably less processor cycles than Virtual Ethernet. Depending on network I/O I have seen...

hmm, i haven't installed a system through the SMS menu with a real DVD for such a long time....

Your probably best bet is to read all the files on DVD and see where the error happens:

find...

With my GNU bash, version 4.3.42(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), i came up with
tar cvf - fi* 2> >(tee ZZ /dev/tty) | gzip > XX
file
file~
file1
file1~
file2
file2~
cat ZZ
file
file~...

Here is one way:

( /opt/freeware/bin/tar cvf - /oradata | gzip > /clodbvg/bkp_30MAY16.tgz ) > test.txt 2>&1

If you want to see the output on screen but also capture it then you can have the best of both worlds using the 'tee' command:

<whatever command> | tee <output text capture file>

Correct.

I'm not an AIX expert but the IBM bible says the error means:

"The physical volume is not a member of a volume group" so I reckon that error is expected.

Ref: IBM Knowledge Center Error...

Obviously during a tar operation you can get errors reading the files and errors writing the archive. The archive can be a disk file, a tape drive, or some other device. One output device is...

Sorry to say that, but this might not be the case. Maybe the database just isn't aware of the corrupted blocks.



No, no: an "export" is the dumping of the DBs (not only a single DB files)...
