I recently ran into this on a Power 6 system. The managed system had "Huge Pages" configured. As a result it was not possible to configure the desired memory for an LPAR with a portion of the memory...

I, like many of the other replies, am not fully understanding what you are trying to do here. This data is available via existing tools.

But... if you are interested in rolling your own* you can...

I looked on all the HMC screens on my system, and could not find that setting. Either it got moved (away completely?) on my version of the HMC or this is just a matter of my brain failing again. I am...

There is an option to allow resources to be used when the partition is not in use in the partition profile. According to at least one RedBook this is for dedicated partitions, but I think it applies...

Technically, extendlv will extend the LV. chfs will extend the LV and grow the filesystem.

You are correct on the LPs. The LV is not mirrored, so it will take only one PP per LP.

As a side...

If it is a formatting problem I recommend "vmstat -w". This works better for larger screens (like a remote session).

If it is a understanding problem I recommend two things: using something like...

I am not entirely clear what you are asking... Does this help?:

The "last" command will tell of previous entries.

"who", and specifically "who am i" will tell who you are. On my system, it...

I wrote two apps to test this... preap and badkids. badkids spawns three zombies and stays alive so they are not reaped by the shell or init. (Technically I think init does the reaping.) badkids...

You should be able to waitpid() for the process (that is not your own (child)) but I cannot verify this (without writing my own).

Another lame (probably not what you are looking for) response, but...

To be honest... I do not know. I tried to get valgrind to build on 5.3 and it failed (and I immediately threw in the towel as AIX was not a "supported" platform).

But, I think the no-code example...

According to the InfoCenter page Help - (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds1/aixterm.htm) you can start the aixterm with -sb to cause the...

It looks like the pthread code (library) initializing.

And according to the summary, all allocations are still reachable (if I am reading this right).

My guess is that they are not free()d on...

Another option for functions (when using ksh*) is the FPATH variable.

[* Note that in AIX /bin/sh is the same binary as ksh. I know this is true for 5.x and later, verify for yourself on 4.x. Also...

I can't speak to this exact problem, but I have a few comments that may start a discussion.

1. If this were 6.1 you could install into WPARs

2. If you virtualize you could have two LPARs that...

The problem is that we have been trained to use time(); and its accompanying functions for so long that virtually all code uses it, and expects to see a 32bit signed value in return (return and pass...

The date command can be supplanted with your own time command, but the (signed) 32 bit seconds since epoch will still roll sometime in the 2030's.

So any application that asks the kernel for...

oslevel by itself is not that useful in this regard.

oslevel -r will tell you the ML/TL your system is at.

oslevel -s will tell you the ML/TL and service pack your system is at.

I think the...

This is not much help to your exact problem... But as an OS/X Safari user I changed to the ssh session for console access once the browser-based HMCs came in.

Provided you have access / ssh...

This could also be done fairly easy with a perl (helper) script (or a C helper).

You only need the seconds since epoch and the built in functions do the rest. This makes printing the date for an...

I am new to this forum and I am not terribly interested in roiling the waters, but I feel the need to respond to this thread.

Google Analytics (and my server logs) tell me where people are coming...

PowerVM QuickStart (http://www.tablespace.net/quicksheet/powervm-quickstart.html)

When I set up the software initiator on AIX using a Linux target my devices came up without proper ODM definitions (as "Other iSCSI devices").

I could read and write the device, but was not able...

It will be kind of hard passing 223 without some Unix / AIX administration experience. (But (unfortunately) it is possible.)

This is a good place to start:

IBM: Test 223: System p...

The "problem" with AIX utilities is that I can't "crack them open" short of using ProbeVue or truss. (You have no access to the source.) But I can say this: The information you speak of comes from...

Use "ncheck" to find a filename given an inode.

You will need to supply the inode and the filesystem that it came from.

If the file has been deleted - meaning ALL instances of it - then this...
