VBE - thanks for the link to the document. I was able to find the same information shockneck is talking about. I pulled the processor card from the machine in question and put another one in from a...

Thanks - Realized after posting that it should have been in AIX forum but did not want to cross post.

I am trying to install AIX 4.3 on a 44P-170 and am having problems. I have the 44P connected to a laptop through the serial port and am trying to boot from the IBM AIX 4.3 CD and I can only get as...

After using the AIX51 diag. CD I was able to determine that the CD-ROM did have the updated firmware and that hdisk1 was the problem. I ended up reformatting hdisk0 and tossing hdisk1. I then...

I have been trying to convince the 'powers that be' to upgrade the unix side to AIX53 but up until recently they (unix boxes) have not been seeing much use. Now things have changed again and...

Just to close this out, this is what I ended up doing:

1. Installed Base 4.3.3 OS to get machine up and running.
2. Downloaded and installed firmware update for CDROM
3. Used network mounts to...

uname -a
AIX catia16 3 4 0003525F4C00
oslevel
4.3.3.0

Which is what I expect to see. However I was wrong when I said I could telnet to it. I cannot telnet or ping either to or from. I will...

I used mksysb to direct the backup to a file instead of a tape... I was able to get the restore work for the most part when I increased the size of my /usr filesystem to handle the data being...

I had a hard drive fail and am trying to restore a system backup from a file I created about two years ago. At the time I did not have a tape device to use nor a writeable CD drive so I just backed...

Hitting '5' at startup gets the machine to boot from the original 4.3.3 but then the LED display is 0518 and will not get past it. I am sure it is trying to boot from the CD because the it is...

I do not have a diagnostic CD. Do you know where I can get one or an image of one? Since IBM does not support AIX 4 any longer, I would not think I could order one from them.

I am trying to boot from the CD: AIX V4.3.3 (5765-C34)

No I do not have any other media to boot from.

A - Yes, Keyboard, mouse and screen are unplugged.
B - Yes, I changed SMS through serial port to boot from CD
C - Yes, CD-ROM light flashing at startup. I did change it back to HD boot once to see...

So I have set up a hyper terminal session with a laptop and connected through a serial cable and I am still having the 0518 LED display come up, when I try to boot CD. Any suggestions? The terminal...

I'll try that. Haven't used that set up in a long time, will have to do more reading and find my set of cables.

I have been trying to boot off the media I have 4.3.3 but it will stop after the timestamp message and the LED display is: 0518. I believe this error refers to a console error, but I am not sure how...
