Perfect, thanks.

Short version: is it possible in any way to change the VGID on a VG? Long version: I am experimenting with using SAN snapshots to do backups of database LUNs. Our nightly process requires 2 full cold backups of a given database, which resides on an EMC SAN. The current process, for each cold...

If I read #1 right, then I can only VCB-snapshot 1 VMDK out of an entire LUN at a time. Correct?

Good afternoon. I am about at my wit's end to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have a *good* way of backing up 200+ VMs across 13 HA ESX hosts, backed with 16TB of SAN space? All of the hosts are managed by a VirtualCenter Server. --- Now, I have done ESX-level backups on some of our...

I'm assuming the windows machine is running an FTP server, and furthermore assuming that it's IIS. Your .netrc file will need to include the domain as part of the userid. machine 1.2.3.4 login DOMAIN\\userid password nofunkycharactersplease

Clarification: I need to this on an email I receive - ie, slightly alter the "To: " I am receiving emails that have a bare address for the "To: " field, and I need to change them into the more complicated form for an application to process cleanly.

I need to be able to convert an email address that comes in of the form [tab]user@domain.tld (with or without <>) to this form: [tab] "/field=value/" <user@domain.tld> Is postfix capable of doing this, and if so, how?

605 is correct. I am running Networker on AIX 5.3 on a P5 (64-bit host OS) and I cannot set an expiration later than 12/31/2037. I sincerely hope that a future iteration of Networker gets away from WISS, and to something a little more supportable.

Yeah, assuming both LUNs are the same, and you aren't maxed on any VG parameters, just add the new LUN to the same vg, mirror all your LVs to it, remove the old copies and LUN and you're golden. mirrorvg and migratepv are basically frontends to the same process. You don't even have to take...

605 - followup question: does a clone-by-volume ignore middles and tails then?

p5wizard is probably on the spot with the loglv for it missing.

Wrapper scripts are the way to go, with as much validation of parameters as you can do in a script. sed s/"^[.\/]*"/""/g | sed s/"\.\.\/"/""/g should strip any preceding . or /'s from whatever is fed to it, and also any occurrences of "../". Ideally you don't even process user args...

That's the kind of problem that I would schedule a reboot as soon as business processes permit, even a lunchtime reboot if it could be done. Scheduling an emergency reboot is far preferable to what might happen if the OS ends up with a kernel panic because rootvg is MIA. The flip side is that...
