You should always try to keep paging space in as many disk as possible but preferably equal sizes. But do not span it across disks. Also do not create more than one paging space in a single disk. If you have two disks then by default hd6 is the paging space in rootvg. Increase it . Add another...

Use uname -a .Leave the first three letters/digits usually 000 and leave the last 3 digits/letters. The Leters/Digits in the middle is the serial number.

Looks like you are having a problem with application not closing out the socket. I feel you should try to solve the problem instead of avoiding. If you want to findout the PID then you can use a freeware lsof which can be downloaded from net. IBM does not support it. But using lsof you can find...

You should be able to send mail using the mail command in AIX. But your AIX box should be capable of resolving the archwireles.net address. To check that your server is resolving the name or not # nslookup >archwireles.net It should return the ip address of that. If it does then the mail will...

This looks like a DNS issue. check /etc/netsvc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf file on the RS/6000. You should have the dns server listed on /etc/resolv.conf and in /etc/netsvc.conf you need hosts=bind,local or hosts=local,bind.

Check the permisssion of /usr/bin/su. It should be 4555.Also check the /etc/security/user and the default should be su=true.

Hi John, It is a microcode problem on the CDROM drive and it has to be updated. Contact IBM Hardware or follow this URL http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro/40xcdrom.html#ToC_3 and http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro/download.html

Not installed 5.1 on F80. But heard that in some recent IBM RS/6000 the CDROM drive is IDE instead of SCSI. So you need a particular set of AIX5.1 CD which contains driver for IDE.
