That's nice and clean, but I don't know if this will work on all systems of this type. I'll have to try this on similar boxes in our other data centers.

Yup, but the script that I have for collecting this info uses the "memory size" line at the moment; LDOM broke it. I need to come up with a new way to do this, which will work on either an LDOM or...

You might be onto something there; this box does have LDOMs, and the primary partition is only 1Gb, so that makes sense. I would still expect prtconf/prtdiag to tell me how much physical RAM is in...

Commands from the ok prompt won't help me here; I need to do this in a shell script.

I have a Sun T5120, and I want to programmatically determine how much RAM it has.

# uname -a
SunOS myhost 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120

The box has 64Gb; I...

I've been fighting this for about a year: vsftp does not work on any of my RedHat Server 5.x systems - I keep getting a variation on 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in...

Fixed - turned out the installer mangled the boot device and boot file entries in OpenFirmware.

I'm trying to install RedHat AS4 on a pSeries 615 6C3. The install ran fine with no warnings, but when it tries to boot, I get !20EE000B! on the screen and 9411 on the LCD.

The box is on the...

Turns out I had the wrong type of serial cable; went through the pile I had and found one that worked.

I would still like to find a guide for manipulating the front console.

Thanks!

I just had someone ask me for AIX 4.3.3 media; I used to have it, but the disks got thrown out a couple of years ago when we moved between buildings.

Does anyone have 4.3 ISO's handy, or would be...

I have a 9111-520 (p5 520) that I inherited, on which I want to install AIX 5.3 or possibly 6.1.

I've installed AIX many times, on a variety of platforms, but this one isn't working for me. What...

Yes, you can.

I have a routing problem that I need to solve for both Windows and Linux.

In our test lab, I've set up a small network that is separated from the rest of the work by a firewall. One interface is...

Yes, that is correct. I bought one online for < $5.

I've been tearing my hair out over this: vsftp does not work on any of my RedHat Server 5.x systems - I keep getting a variation on 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in...

I had this happen on an H70 on which I was trying to install beta 5.3 bits. I had 5 of these H70's, the f/w upgrade went perfect on 4, but the 5th bricked and I had to box it up and send it back to...

Fixed!

I got the new floppy drive in the mail last night, installed it this AM, re-flashed the firmware, and the machine is up and happy again.

Useful link for flashing the firmware:

From the service processor menu, there's an option to look at various logs; I don't have the machine in front of me, so I can't quote the menu path. I think it's under "System Information"

I have a 7029-6C3 that was running AIX 5.2; I tried to update to 5.2.10.5, rebooted, and the box went south. Upon further digging through the h/w logs, I found the error "Service Processor Firmware...

Thanks! The lsattr -El proc0 - with a little sed work - does what I need.

Did you allocate the SPOT?

Run

# lsnim -c resources hostname

Or use SMIT to look at the installation resources assigned to that system

I'm looking for a way - from the command line - to tell whether a given AIX system I have is a Power5, Power4 or Power6 machine - it seems like there would be an option to 'uname' but I couldn't find...
