Hi, check the ether switch port for STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). If the full STP is enabled, it may take about 40 sec for the ether switch port to become online.

Hi, you loose your service address when HACMP detects a network/adapter failure and it brings the resource group down, eventually up elsewhere. Adding routes through "smit route" should work. There may be a problem with the routes if you are adding host specific routes those conflict...

Hi, The values looks OK, but I cannot test them now. I am out of office. I have experienced the same strange behaviour of AIX5.2 ML01, that is the coresponding level to AIX5.1 ML04, too. I am also looking for explanation of what has been changed in AIX5.2 ML01/AIX5.1 ML04. Can anyone help?

Sorry for the misunderstanding of the "kick off". I understood it as "disable" or "stop the process". What I wrote is how to disable the PC to access the server.

Hi Saythere, are you running technical environment or database? If technical then modify the number of threads in your application. If database then I think you may have too many client processes, that may be OK. You can do some tuning with the vmo, schedo and ioo commands (should be modified...

Hi, I think you can have the licenses for v5 and v6 simultaneously, but I think you will have a problem to install the C compiler simultaneously in v5 and v6 on the same server as the installp installs it into the same directory structure. You can setup your server to use the nodelock file, to...

Hi, the problem is 99% software and 1% hardware. I met the AXIS printers long time ago and as I remember they use their own print drivers and not the AIX ones. I would start to debug the problem in those drivers.

1.) Kill the ftpd process on AIX - you have to guess which if more than one. 2.) Edit the /etc/ftpaccess.ctl - restrict the PC to access your server. 3.) Go to a PC or MS Win forum.

Hi, if you use the default, the volume group can address 1016 PPs per disk and 32 disks for standard volume groups. The 1016 comes from 2^10-8 (addressable space by 10 bits minus 8 PPs for realocation) The 32 is 2^5 (adressable space by 5 bits). There is one bit left from the total number of...

Hi, you need to update the licenses. Your license information is available in the /usr/vac directory after installing the vac.lic package. The files are: cforaix_cn.lic cforaix_c.lic cforaix_n.lic - I use this as I just add the line to the /var/ifor/nodelock file as described in the .lic file...

Remove or reconfigure your NIS configuration: smit ypconfigure -> Remove NIS ... Check your /etc/filesystems file. Attach the stanza for the failing filesystem as a reply. Check your /etc/vfs file. It should look like this: # @(#)vfs @(#)77 1.29 src/bos/etc/vfs/vfs, cmdfs, bos520...

Hi, attach a "vmstat 1 5" and "sar -P ALL 1 5" output. The runqueue of 4 per processor could be high as it means that there are frequent context switches - switches of processes or threads. But if you have high values of the runqueue then usually you have low CPU IDLE% and...

Hi, some processes are "eating" your RAM memory and the system has no one free memory page. So, the VMM (virtual memory manager) is moving old pages to disk (hd6, paging00) and trying to get the reqested pages from paging space back to memory. How to solve this? 1.) Check your...

Hi, you said the PC is using the printer through the JetDirect card. You can set the fixed IP address on your HP JetDirect card and define your print queue from AIX directly to the printer's JetDirect IP address. If the printer is connected directly to your PC's serial or parallel port then you...
