powerpath 5 and above can recognize and use Hitachi disk. so if you have EMC san and add Hitachi, you can use the powerpath driver rather than HDLM

Hi All, I am trying to re-compile some libraries (such as libc.a) to be smaller so that I can put them in multiple chroot jails for multiple ftp home directories. I sucessfully did this about 3 years ago, but can't for the life of me remember how. I am in the middle of an Aix upgrade to 5.1...

Hi, You would be better to post in the Aix forum for this kind of thing (I think). However, for hardware device management, most of the stuff you should look at is in "smit device" from a command line ,I'd try something like "lsdev -Cc adapter" to start with. This should...

Hi, As wreck is not freee, you could try fdisk /MBR which is supposed to replace the master boot record on the disk. Windows does not like this after Linux has been installed as it has either the LILO or GRUB boot Loader

Hi pupu, Thanks for this, I have finally go to the bottom of my problem. THe ipchains (RedHats Firewall) was blocking the port 22 access. I had to add the line: -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 22 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT to /etc/sysconfig/ipchains Thanks for your input.

Hi, I have an Internet FTP server running on RH 7.2 (Enigma) with all the updates. I need now to allow SFTP for some users. I have checked sshd_config and all looks ok to call the sftp-server sybsystem. THe sshd was already running. Another box I have with RH 7.1 works for SFTP straight off...

Hi, I was checking out the UniAdmin tool on my UniVerse system and there is a specific option to restore a PICK backup so this may help too. To Get this install the UniVerse Clients on a PC, start UniAdmin, log-on, and next to the backup and restore tape icons there is a UniVerse import tool...

Hiya, I have a drawing for 2 Nodes each with 2 adapters and 4 7133 Drawers. It might serve as a basis for your plan. It has worked well in production for us. We are even using fibre optic extenders as our 2 computer rooms are 500m apart. Give me a mail address or ftp-site or something and...

Hi, I am running IBM UniVerse v10.0.7.1 on IBM Aix, but the ports to Linux should be just as good. We ported from PRIME OS to PI/OPEN then UniVerse It was a VMark product, who joined with UniData to form Ardent, who were then bought over by Informix for their middleware (Web) tools. IBM then...

Hi, There may be a nice package for doing this but as I'm only a script hacker: An easy way to do it would be to stick the following in a script called by crontab with a line like 0,20,40 * * * * /scriptpath/script # run script every 20 mins This script can be varied for different thresholds...

Hi DSMARWAY, Thanks for your response. IBM have come up trumps with the answer. I got talking to the IBM guy who developed this as a workaround. The workaround works for 4.3.1 and 4.4.1 but got incorporated into the base release of 4.5 As he doesn't develop anymore I won't give his name but...

Hi, I have a S80 based cluster with 2 nodes running HACMP 4.3.1 IBM now only support HACMP 4.4.1 so I have to upgrade. Problem is that we are running a customised bit of code that allows us to use IP aliases for a resource group rather that a service address (thus retaining the boot address at...
