Thanks Robin,

The rootvg on this system is around 40GB. Customer keeps a lot of data filesystems in rootvg (we didn't set this up), and doesn't want to change anything. They don't want to add any...

Hi,

Is it possible to use mkdvd to create a bootable DVD using a mksysb on tape as the source image?

On the system concerned, we don't have enough free space to create the mksysb to file first,...

Quick update:

The filesystem increase went very smoothly. I did it in a number of steps, increasing in size as each step completed with no problems or delays.
Smallest increase was 1TB, largest...

LOL, that it is.
Still, give it ten years, and we'll all be scoffing at any system with a mere 15TB.

Either that, or the machines will have won.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Thanks for the clarifications Robin.

As regards the discussion around whether the increase should be done all at once, or in smaller steps, I note the following:

In the man page for chfs it...

Thanks for the reply Robin.

By maximum number of extents I assume you mean MAX LPs?
- That is something I will need to increase when I go to do the filesystem increase.

PP size in the VG is...

Hi,

I need to increase a filesystem from around 1TB to 15TB on a running AIX7.1 TSM server.
This will be by far the largest single filesystem increase I've ever performed, or even heard of.

Thanks ibmtech, I gave that a try on a smaller restore and it works exactly as you say. Next time we do the big restore, I'll use that. Cheers :).

edit by bakunin: very good to hear that. Changed...

Both good options, I'll give them a try and see which works best for me. Thanks hergp and ibmtech.

ibmtech - I had tried -pick before, but I had found it listed all files in all subdirs, not just...

I have a large filesystem - 500GB, with around 750,000 files which I need to restore using TSM.
There are about 15 subdirectories, one of which does not need to be restored.

The subdirectory to...

Ok, tried both variants suggested above, and, whaddya know, they both worked beautifully.

Thanks millan and MadeInGermany, I will try those suggestions tomorrow during the day when I'm connected to a UNIX box again.
(It's 9:35pm here in New Zealand right now).

Will let you know how...

Hi,

I'm trying to use find in kshell (AIX) to find all files with perms of
write for other
AND
any execute bit set.

e.g:
r--r-x-w- would qualify
and rw-rw--wx would qualify
but...

AIX Technical Specialist.

Also, "." should never be in your PATH anyway.

This prevents a situation where someone can put a file named, for example, "ls" in their own home directory, which contains commands only root can...

Thanks for the replies amitranjansahu, frans and Scrutinizer.

amitranjansahu, I saw yours first, and tried it. That works perfectly, thanks.

frans and Scrutinizer, thanks for the alternative...

Hi,

I need to split the fields in some text strings into separate variables.
The fields are separated by pipes.

The strings look roughly like this:
