I have investigated further and have learnt a very useful but painful lesson. When you look at the P730 from the HMC you see two SAS controllers, 1 on P1/C8 and the other on P1/C18/T1. I stupidly...

I hope someone has experienced this problem before and can help. I have a P730 (8231-E2D) which is fitted with 8 IBM SAS disks on 2 separate SISSAS controllers. The disk type is ST9146853SS...

Then as long as you map your virtual fibre channel adapters to the same physical adapters you will know that the connection will be live and a FLOGGI will happen for the virtual fibre channel...

Please answer my previous question "Are you booting the VIO servers from SAN or local disks?" Your answer will influence what I suggest next!

OK now we can explore which files are changing and why. Which files are being altered? This is generally why the MKSYSB is only performed when there is very little system activity.

As the MKSYSB backs up just the ROOTVG it is generally thought the filesystems will be the default JFS2. Can you be more specific which files are disappearing? Have you any other VGs defined such...

You need to check both VIO servers to make sure both virtual HBAs are connecting through the VIO servers. We can see from the item above in red that FCS0 is mapped to the VFChost which is coming up....

Boot the client to SMS then select menu item 5. Select Boot Options then select 4. SAN zoning. This will result in the adapters being shown. Select each adapter in turn which will lead to the panel...

Where are you picking up the mksysb from?

Many thanks that was just what I was looking for. Another example of Google giving more spurious results than factual!

You have been a great help and I will now stop tearing my hair...

I have a real problem that I hope someone has experience of. I am setting up an LPM for a client who use HP SAN storage. In the past when I setup an LPM system the second World Wide Name (WWN) for...

The problem with a Google search is if you do not ask the question correctly you get spurious answers. I asked the correct question and found a link to an IBM known problem patch.

I am attempting this for the first time having in the past used a DVD migrate. Unfortunately in this instance I do not have this luxury. The migration starts correctly and creates the alt_inst disk...

Rebooting the HMC does not have any affect on the running systems. The only consequence of such an action is if an LPAR / frame were to go defective whilst the HMC is coming back. Also the listing...

You still need to wind forward with the tctl -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 3 to get passed the boot information on the tape.

I am not sure whether "Hyperterminal" is available on later versions of Windows. It certainly was on XP. You will need a 9 pin D type serial cable connected to the serial port on the laptop and the...

So where is your sshd_config file shown above from? The following should have the # removed#PermitRootLogin yes

Or is it your standard user ID which cannot ssh to the server? I have assumed that...

This is why I asked if they were mapped as VSCSI as the new disks needed re-mapping.

How are the disks mapped to the LPAR? Are they VSCSI or VFCHOST?

You are definitely on the right track!

Forget the DLPAR as this is not necessary on a new configuration and can cloud the issue, consider this example:

You have a brand new Power 7 frame on...

After a lot of work finding the connection infromation of the offending disks and using the mkpathand chpath command I finally convinced the SAN team that something was not behaving itself on the SAN...

mount -v cifs -n windowsip/user/pass /sharedfolder /mountpoint
This command does not look correct. Following the -n should be the node name of the remote system. Is the remote filesystem...
