Bakunin, thanks for your reply. I didn't think AIX would require a remount, but thought I'd check. Have a good new years

Michael, thanks for replying. As I recall, AIX can expand the FS on the fly, correct? That is, without dropping the FS

Under the df command, one of my logical volumes, /dev/hd4, was showing 100% Used, so I added 2 logical partitions, but its still showing 100% used. Is there a separate command I need to execute to...

Zxmaus, thanks for you reply. I guess what I'm asking is would you think there'd be any performance issues upgrading to the 146GB? I am not that familiar with capabilities of Unix systems.

We have an eight year old IBM P series 7028 model server running AIX 5.2, and are thinking about installing some bigger drives. The current ones are 78GB in a RAID5 array. It looks like there are...

IBM got back to me much sooner than I thought they would. Their suggestion is to boot from a hardwaredDiagnostics CD, and install the adapter before loading AIX. Do this seem like a valid...

I have an IBM pseries 7028-6E1 server with a six drive bay that is currently plugged into the scsi backplane of the motherboard. I am going to install a PCIX Ultra320 scsi raid adapter, and swing...

Great, I think we will proceed as you describe. Forums like this are probably the most useful thing the Internet has to offer from my perspective. Thanks alot for sharing your expertise.

O.k., so you make an excellent and well taken point. Last question, is there any issue if I keep the 36GB drives disk0 and disk1 for mirroring the OS, and replace the other four 36GB drives with...

Thanks for responding. AIX is currently loaded on disk0. Since this server was never configured with any RAID settings, but has years of data written to the other disks, we are going to copy the...

We have an IBM pseries with AIX 5.1 that we are going to set up with RAID 5. It has a 7028-2498 RAID controller that was never configured, long story. It has six 36GB drives, and my question is,...

Thanks alot for your useful advice. We are really in a bind here. The IBM server this is located on has a RAID adapter, but it turns out the vendor never configured it! I am looking into...

I posted some errpt output,see Phone Support, that this forum graciously looked at and confirmed what we suspected, that one of our RAID5 disks is failing. I have a replacement, but am having...

Here are the details of the two errors. I tried to Google the sense data, but nothing came up
LABEL: LVM_IO_FAIL

The disk operation error and the i/o error, are what I am trying to get some detailed assistance with. I tried booting into maint. mode, but could never get around the "disk in use message." The...

We have a 7028 p series server that has a lapsed hardware service contract, and I was attempting to create a billable tech support phone call, and IBM said that they do on site billable only. Is...

Frank, I set the hard file size attribute to -1, and it worked
zxmaus, what is the command to set the jfs file size? I looked in smat but couldn't find it.
Thanks alot to both of you for your help.

I am trying to execute a database dump to a file, but can't seem to get around the 2GB file size. I have tried setting the user limit to -1, but no luck.

Again, I really appreciate you all sharing your knowledge on this. I ran lsvg -p for the volume group in question, and it listed the five physical volumes associated with it, and all had free PP's...

And that is the essence of my simplistic minded question, does UNIX automaticaly allocate space on the other physical volumes associated with this Volume Group? It sounds like the answer is yes, and...

Couple questions, what happens if you don't extend it, and when the next physical volume fills up, will I need to extend it again? Also, does the number of free PP for a filesystem need to be...

Thanks for your replies. I admittedly am a beginner with UNIX. I have lots of experience with Windows file systems, and am trying to understand how UNIX allocates PP's. The volume group that this...

I was in smit, checking on disc space, etc. and it appears that one of our physical volumes that is part of a large volume group, has no free physical partitions. The server is running AIX 5.1. ...
