I've seen lots of interesting backup solutions in my time, whatever you choose, remember that it's when you are restoring the data that it's key to be in control. in the end my experience is that you...

Everything that we've told you about donating unused cycles still holds true for Capped LPARS, the only real difference is that a Capped LPAR. Isn't allowed to exceed its Entitled Capacity.

You need to also list how many Virtual CPUs an LPAR has to understand this.

If an LPAR doesn't use it's entitled capacity is donates it back to the pool and can be allocated to other LPARs based...

You can always create a group of LPARs in NIM and deploy the proms that way.

Tharsan,

There is a pretty easy solution, and that is the command line from the Chassis Management Module of the Flex System.

Logon to the CMM via ssh, and then (for the purposes of the...

Are you sure it's actual packet loss or is it packets being retransmitted?

Can you indicate the path from database server to application server and what virtual (hyper visors) are involved at each...

I've used IDS in the past but found it rather cumbersome and massively over the top for what I needed. End customer found maintaining it rath a chore as well, and are looking for a simpler option.

New disks won't show up in the SMS menu as they aren't bootable devices. once the misuse restore gets to the point where you choose the target disk you will be able to verify that the disks work.

The vast majority of Databases that I see are hosted on SAN Disk arrays, and in that case I'd suggest that you let these arrays manage the RAID level on the disk. The only cases in those...

AIXpert setting of High is intended for Internet facing servers. more common is that in data centre, firewall protected servers will use the medium setting.

You need to watch with medium as it by...

Is there an IP Address on the pHysical Adapt when you run the mkvdev command?

And yes the port needs to be configured in promiscuous mode.

If you show us the command you are running and the...

If your documentation is out of date as to which HMC manages which LPAR, then chances are that other documentation may be out of date.

This spreadsheet may be of use developerWorks: Wikis -...

There are a few things to watch out for when you are buying a box for home.

Firstly all when you are buying any POWER server, what licenses come with it? You'll need PowerVM licences to run VIO...

What version of AIX are you using. On AIX 7.1 the right command is:
lsrsrc IBM.MCP

Just remember hat when you change the WWN of the Virtual Fibre Card that you need to change any SAN zoning you have for that LPAR, and more importantly make sure that the WWN isn't in use anywhere...

It all depends on the type of storage you are using as that will determine how to get the info. Fget_config is for DS4K storage.

It really looks like you have the non-RAID version of the adapter.

If you can't find your base media you can download ISO images from the web when you verify your customer number and serial number of server to prove entitlement.

The input device its asking for is just the location of the files that you've put on the NFS share. If the NFS share is mounted on /mnt/update then thats what the INPUT Device would be.

Putting it as simply as possiblr: Memory in AIX is allowed to fill up by the Memory Manager until it reaches the minfree number of pages free ( which you can see from the vmo command). It will then...

Did you run the cfgdev command in the VIO Server to discover the newly added vscsi adapter?

And the LPAR needs to have a Client SCSI adapter not a Server one.

This error simply means that thereis not enough area to accoodate a dump. Dump is scheduled to end up in /var/adm/ras. This. Directory is about 64MB short is having enough space for the dump

Yes IVM is a part of VIO when you install on a low end machine, usually you put the VIO DVD in the drive and turn the machine on. It should guide you from there. Hiwever as the machine has been used...

I'd read up on the principles of Virtualisation used by POWER servers as this is what confuses most people. Ask your new boss if he has a server that you can uild up and rip apart to get experience....

Most common cause of this is the file permissions on a users home directory, debugging usisng the -v flag for the ssh command will help as will running the sshd in the foreground.
