So it is! Sorry :) That was the first thing I was going to do, but I need for the change record to be approved first.

Hello, AIX gurus! I have a server with AIX auditing switched on. The auditing is running in BIN mode and logs the events, but the collection bins do not seem to be rotating. The configuration is: # cat /etc/security/audit/config start: binmode = on streammode = off bin...

Thank you for your suggestions. My problem is that the old_rootvg contains the old version of the OS, so I have to re-run the OS upgrade and I would have lost all the changes to the OS version on hdisk0, if I remirrored from hdisk1. I tried running the importvg: #importvg -y rootvg hdisk0 It...

Hello, I was performing system upgrade via alt_disk_copy. After it finished I started cleaning up and accidently removed rootvg via alt_rootvg_op -X rootvg (instead of old_rootvg). The system is running but rootvg is missing: #lsvg old_rootvg datavg01 datavg02 #lspv hdisk0...

Hello all, Has anyone seen a document or a guide that describes option file configuration for Solaris 10 (SPARC) Global and Local zones on recently released Solaris 5.3.4 client? I installed the client in the global zone (without -G option) and it successfuly installed it in all relevant...

Happened to me before. It was caused by TSM DB deadlock (according to the activity log). I suggest a call to IBM...They will probably respond with "updgrade to the later version".

Try "remove=yes" in the checkout command. I thing "remove=bulk" is used for IBM 3XXX tape silos.

I believe you can export all the data for a particular node definition. However the RMAN catalog on the server, where you are importing the data to, might not know about the imported node's files. Talk to your DBAs to see if they can recover/merge the RMAN catalog.

Hello, TSM gurus, We recentrly had a Windows file server rebuilt from TSM backups. The data (directory tree and files) was restored, but the directories that are shared out to the network on the old server do not have the share information on the new server. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. TSM...

Thanks, Wizard, but, When the hdisks are re-discovered, will they have the same numbers (like hdisk135)? My concern is if they will not, that might prevent access to the disks, as vpaths are associated with specific hdisks.

Hello, AIX gurus! We have AIX 5.2 p690 LPAR with a failed HBA. We need to replace it and get the fcs1 into the DEFINED state, before the hardware can be replaced. However, there are a lot of child devices on the adapter. Is it possible to down the HBA without removing the disks/vpaths?

Hello TSM gurus, I have a TSM 5.1 server running on Solaris 9, connected to Storagetek L700 library. I have two different type of drives in the library: IBM LTO (1) and Storagetek 9940 (four of each type). Traditionnaly the company was only using LTO drives (the Storagetek 9940s were never...

Thank You, ogniemi.

Hello, HACMP/AIX gurus, Can anyone point me towards a Redbook or any document that describes how HACMP V 5.1 under AIX 5.1 handles etherchannel? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Also, "find" command's -xdev switch searches all sub-directories, but does not span filesystems.
