You need to be running an X-server on your PC like Exceed for windows or a X11 server (Gnome desktop/KDE etc)

If you are on a remote PC you will need to set your DISPLAY to IP_of_PC:0

Hi all,

I have a H50 server in a remote location and the cron has the power failure line entered. There is nothing in errpt so I suspect this may have been added some time ago.

How can I...

but that is my concern. We may have volume groups which have been activated with quorum set and then changed with chvg. So it looks like quorum is off and yet it is actively on until you varyoff/on...

try a man mkdvd or read this:

pSeries and AIX Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds3/mkdvd.htm)

Hope this helps

Hi all,

I would like to ensure that a volume group has an effective quorum setting of 1 (or off). I know you can change the quorum setting using the chvg -Q command but want to know if the...

Hi,

apologies if this has been asked before but I would like to use the HMC X-server to display X applications from other LPARS. The HMC and other LPARS are on the same network and can ping each...

I suspect there may be open files on your source file system. Compare the outputs of df and du for the file system in question.

If that doesn't shed any light then it may be to do with the...

Has anyone ever done this and is it easy to do with SLES9/10? All I can find so far is this link

Try running truss or tusc on the diff or awk command. Might give you a clue as to whats being exhausted. I suspect a kernel param rather than memory. Check the system hard limits

You can't edit the /etc/hosts file on HMCs like you can on a normal unix box. Check the man page for chhmc. I think there is a way to add aliases. Will check this out tomorrow and let you know how...

Hi,

I have a LPAR running AIX 5.3 with multiple Etherchannels running (e.g. ent10-ent14 etc).

The person who configured up the interfaces set more that one interface through minimal config and...

I was trying to copy a 2.5GB mksysb onto a 5.3 lpar to add as a NIM resource. The DVD mounted fine but I could not see any files within the mount point. I thought the media was bad so I tried again...

Try
tar cf - ./somedir | ssh remoteserver ( cd /somedir ; tar xf- )

Hi,

just wondering what the /dev/rmt0.x devices relate to. I assume some are no rewind/compression etc but can't seem to find a man page which tells you which one is which.

Can anyone help?...

probably best check you've got the right field. I can't remember off hand but df -k might give you free inodes rather than free space hence the Iused header. Try df -I instead and check which field...

There's probably something wrong with setting the used space variable in from the df command.

It's good practise to quote your test parameters in double quotes so that if they are not set the test...

I've created an hmc user account for our developers and set a pawword expiry to 30 days. Trouble is when the password expires they are asked to change it in the WebSM gui but it returns an error...

Are you using the -l option with ftpd. This should log to your syslog file if set.

Check in inetd.conf and add the -l as an option to ftpd

:)

You should first of all try using the mailx command with the -v option to send a test email to the remote recipient. This should at least let you see if your relay host is accepting the mail.

Hi,

I have an AIX server which has a number of root owned semaphores. Is there a way of identifying which processes/threads own these processes so that they can be removed.

I there also a way...

Hi All,

I would like to know if there is a downloadable AIX health check script available from IBM that would print a report of a servers health status.

I've been working on a number of Sun...
