so an instance of seeing the forest and missing the tree you were looking for - I was trying to think along with AIX and figure out what entity was holding the LVs open. Ba-Doh, the VIO itself. ...

I have a broken PV in a VIO VG that's used to support client LPARs using LVs. On the client LPAR, I reduced all PVs from the relevant client VG and thus deleted it. I.e. there is no client LPAR...

ibm sez yes it's supported. we'll give it a whirl. will update with highlights.

ibm suppt said that replication does the same ops on the recipient that were...

:) yep. I figured if someone has blazed this trail before I'd sponge off their work. I'll update here with results.

I'd like to add some x/linux-based servers to my current AIX-based TDS/SDS server community. Reading the Fine Install Guide (rtfig ?) I believe this may be covered by the section "Upgrade an...

thanks for looking.

turns out it was really dopey, it's about the size of the window that topas is running in. it apparently thinks 24 rows isn't enough to show more than 2 CPUs. stretch it to...

seeing weirdness across some 7.1.5.1 LPARs - they all have 2 vCPUs allocated shared. With prtconf they show 2 CPUs, 'lsdev -c processor' concurs, and 'lsattr -El procX' shows that SMT is enabled and...

Thank you, I think that's where I'm headed, I'm just wondering if there's a best practice, or if when security calculus is applied to this exercise, a flashing light goes on about some hole that this...

greetings, just ran across a fun situation we had overlooked.

We have a backdoor user, no special privileges, which we put on every server so that anyone in the shop can get in (passwd in vault)...

happened across this, I was waiting on tingling tenterhooks for what IBM would do for p5 and p6. Nothing: Potential Impact on Processors in the POWER Family - IBM PSIRT Blog...

btt , anyone out there ?

greetings -
just noticed that on my aix 7.1 systems, they're running 'hrd' under SRC. Some lite googling reveals an association with HFI, which I believe is the p775 HPC interface ?

Does this...

yep, we're serving disk local to the VIOs in chunks as LVs to the client LPARs. Thank you for your explanation of active/passive MWC ("in your case, ... one path was down and it is clear..."). That...

need to confirm:
we have a system with two VIOs each serving a partition on a local disk to a client LPAR. That client LPAR has them both in a VG which is mirrored (exact). So each disk has a copy...

thanks for your reply. I sorted this some more, and figured out that if I did mkdvd on the mksysb created with 'backupios -mksysb' then I'd have a DVD image which I could present to the VIO for an...

working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc.

In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb...

trying to implement authz to a webpage using require ldap-group. It works, except I need to do apachectl restart before the server will observe an add or a delete to the group.

Seems like apache...

we have two z/OS instances, on one the 'man' command finds input content, formats and displays it and caches the results. All good:

SYS$JB:/VERSYSB/usr/man/C/man1: >man -x date
Trying...

I get that I don't want to modify the FS live, however, a really simplistic construction is that the buffer cache contents on top of the disk contents represents the consistent (correct) state of the...

thanks all for your replies. we took an outage, unmounted the filesys and sure enough, no errors. this was not a foreign concept to me, but last time we had a SAN prob I ran fsck on mounted FS...

greetings all, we had SAN bobbles recently and so I ran fsck against all local FS on all systems.

our domino servers present a moving set of alleged corruption, both JFS and JFS2 FS.

Am I...

as in subject. I've got bos.rte.security and I see /usr/lib/libdes.a , but the des_crypt.h header is not to be found.

I'm running 6.1 and need an answer for that release, BTW.

TIA!
