Thanks for your inputs. If I replace the system deconfigured DIMMS, will they come back as configured or will they stay as deconfigured.

Hi, I hope it's okay to post a similar issue on this thread. I need to upgrade a p570 FW to 240_284 and going thru the procedure, I found out that a 2GB memory is deconfigured and it needs to be resolved before proceeding with the upgrade. Now, as p5wizard said, as user admin you can see the...

If my HMC drive failed, do I need to install the patches on top of the Recovery CD before I restore my BCCD? It seems to me that it's being backup so it should restore it. Thanks p5wizard!

Thanks. That's exactly what happened. After I upgraded to 5.1.0, I then installed the mandatory patches - 2 CDs at about 500MB each using the Install Corrective Service. Is there a way to avoid this. I saw a posting that suggested to do a Save Upgrade Data and boot from the CD. Are the patch...

Hi, I upgraded my HMC from 4.3.3 to 5.1.2 (with patch). I'm making a backup of the Critical Console Data and it's taking forever. It used to be about 30MB in 4.3.3 and not it's about 300MB and it's still growing. Is this normal? What's the typical size of CCD for V5.1.2. Just 1 partition by...

Duke, I really appreciate you taking time to help me on this. We finally fixed the issue yesterday and we found out the vsa0/vty0 do not exist in AIX 5200-04 - it's called sa0/tty0 which basically serves the same functionality. We're assuming that these devices names were changed in AIX 5.3...

The application running needs the console to be redirected to vty0. Can you please tell me how to do this. Thanks!

Hi, Is there a way to recreate or reconfigure VSA0 and VTY0 on a p570, AIX 5.2, HMC 4.3.3 single partition system. "cfgmgr" does not seem to work. These devices don't show up using "lsdev" command. TIA!

Sam, you might want to check the link below. Just go to SEARCH and type LIST OF SYSTEM REFERENCE CODE, click the link then check for 110000AC. It looks like a power issue. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r3s/index.jsp HTH

Graham, At the controller level, you can connect a terminal to your HSG80 if you have not already and run these commands; hsg80> show fail (will display failed disk) hsg80> locate disk000 (where disk000 is your failed disk. this command will identify the disk, watch for the blinking amber...

If you still don't have it check this thread thread866-966701. It's under "Compaq Disk & RAID Solutions" Forum if the link won't work. HTH

thanks ogniemi, this is an easier way to do it but i think the location codes for the enclosure and the disks inside the enclosure do not get updated unless you run cfgmgr or reboot the server. check it with lscfg.

Hi, Try to use the buttons below the LED screen. HTH

Thank you all! I appreciate your help.

There's also the IBM redbooks collection @ www.redbooks.ibm.com. Just search AIX and you can download the pdf files for free. In your case, I think the certification study guide will be most helpful to you. Check this link... http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245129.html?Open
