The Symmetrix Volume Id is embedded within the VPD Serial Number field. lscfg -vl hdiskNNN |grep "Serial Number" | tail -1 | cut -c39-41 In the example you have shown the physical volume "hdisk28" is actually Symmetrix volume x6D8. This is my understanding of the "current" VPD listing (AIX5L...

This reminds me of an incident several years ago when, during a telephone conversation, I was asked how to spell HACMP. Albeit the user at the other end of the 'phone was rather distressed at the time, but the concept of having to spell HACMP for someone disturbed me somewhat. No offence...

With some PVs having only 74 PPs along with having 136 PPs free in the VG you should be able to: 1) Free up an existing 74 PP vdisk device by moving the data to the disk with 136 PPs free 2) Remove the vdisk device from the VG (reducevg ora_prd vdiskNN) 3) Add a DMX device to the VG (extendvg...

The .sh_history file is not a flat ASCII file (includes control chars etc). Try a bit of this for the last 300 lines: strings /.sh_history | tail -300 You can use the $HISTSIZE environment variable to manage the number of entries retained. HTH.

Have a look around /proc/scsi/ql* where ql* is determined by the QLogic adapter model number (and then subdivided into 0 or 1 or 2 etc depending upon the number of adapters). HTH.

The "xvf" restore will do what it says on the tin, and restore the files from media overwriting files of the same name. But if you have created NEW files then these will remain no matter how many times you restore from the media. If you want to revert your directories/files to the state they...

Verify that you have bos.perf.perfstat installed. lslpp -L bos.perf.perfstat HTH.

Irrespective of personal preferences for HMC interface, my understanding of the "General Availability" releases of POWER5 firmware is: GA7 = release SF240 GA6 = release SF235 GA5 = release SF230 In summary "keep things at SF240_xxx" as a minimum. Works for HMC V6. Works for HMC V7.

According to the "HMC Function and Hardware Prerequisites" PDF the HMC (since V4R5.0) can support "48 non 590/595 Servers or 32 590/595 Servers and 254 LPARs". The document can be accessed via <http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc/power5/tips/hmcprereqs.pdf> HTH.

To go back to your original question phorbiuz, if "lsvg" on one system reports the "PP's per PV" and the other system does not report this, then I suspect you have a difference in OS levels (or maybe MLs). Try comparing the output of oslevel -r on both systems. HTH, G.

Using the "MAX LVs:" may be more practical than looking at the MAX PVs. The MAX PVs value may changes if the VG have been created/altered with a "-t" factor. If looking at the "MAX LVs" value, this should be pretty consistent as: MAX LVs: 256 - Normal VG MAX LVs: 512 - Big VG MAX LVs: 4096 -...

Oh, and can you also post the output of: lsdev -Cs scsi And also &quot;compare and contrast&quot; these between the 2 systems. Check for any SCSI type interrupts/errors from &quot;errpt&quot;. Is that alright mrn? I think thats the most we can hope for until the introduction of the...
