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...

This is not really an AIX question. Rather, it is a sudo question and the solution will depend on how you have configured sudo.

The key file is located, usually, at /etc/sudoers.

The standard...

Actually, we should have asked that you run the command:
ioslevel - to get the version of VIOS you are running.

As you say, AIX 5.3 - that would indicate VIOS 1.X something, as all VIOS 2.X are...

I have not heard of vWPAR for AIX 6.1.

reviewing SP levels - quickly:

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...

What was not clear to me is whether the storage was physically located.

It sounds like it was using local storage (local, i.e., physical, not from a SAN) and the LPAR (aka virtual machine) was...

Going to the redpaper listed earlier - I saw also:



As the first thing that needs verification - are the disks visible to anything, or perhaps broken (so also using the diagnostics DVD is...

So, I got it backwards - need 7.1 to do anything with POWER8.

Are you doing a "bare metal" install? That may be why you are having a problem and I have not (up through Power6 and Power7).

For...

Try a different version of Redhat - 6.X level. From a faint discussion some time back, I recall RedHat 7.X requires a higher level of POWER firmware than some early systems came with.

As you said...

Thanks -=XrAy=- (https://www.unix.com/members/302128993.html), for reminding me that sometimes developerworks has new information, not just rehashed.

Ah - better finders of things on the web.

What I would say when asked this on site:
a) talk to your seller for the fine print. That is his job to keep you informed. If you are a reseller - talk...

As agent.kgb said - you have for cores licensed for AIX. And only PowerVM Express has any limit to the number of partitions you can create. The limitation is that when using a SPP (Shared Processor...

it is better, or at least nicer, if you leave the symptom - will help those who repeat your experience.

AIX 7.2 - needs POWER7 or later

With AIX 6.1 it was POWER4 or later - then I was "Happy Me!" because I already had a POWER4 system.

With AIX 7.2 - for now I am "sad me" because I do not have a...

Yes, thanks for the update - but I find it surprising that lppchk -f did not spot it as missing.

Can you get output similar to this?

# lslpp -w | grep sendmail.cf

Personally, I have not worked enough with AIX Runtime Expert to give a quick example - but this is one of the things it was intended for - even if it is only to see what the differences are.

As far as "policy" goes, that would only be the so-called default: stanzas in several files in /etc/security.

There are other "policy" related files, also in /etc/security - most of these end in...

WLM is an extremely different approach to resource control than ulimit.

WLM is meant to be a policy-based control mechanism managing access to resources over time - while ulimit sets hard maximum...

As you said, it was working - what is going through my mind is "What else has changed?". e.g., did you recently update AIX? Have you changed your default shell (and there is no "hash-bang aka #!...

The only fair answer is "It depends" on what the application needs.

FYI: you can also use the program ldedit to change this value. Something else I would recommend is to change the default page...

I hope I have uploaded two files - one titled autostartPolicypng and the other is startpolicy.png

These are screencaptures from the web-based ASMI - Advanced System Management Interface. I do not...

Again, as Bakunin has clearly stated - it is about what you need to accomplish - and then learn the tools that will help you there.

A little known tool - that has been with AIX since roughly 2009...

the fullcore setting - which is what the syslog/errpt message was about are more specific to application/system 'crashes' that result in a machine-binary core dump.

The bff files can be 'unpacked' with the command

I suspect that if you are going to use the hosting partition as a router it will need to be configured as one - an address the WPAR can ping directly - maybe another alias on the 'host' and also set...
