I've always created the NIM Network first thing. Then add my clients to /etc/hosts and them define them to NIM. Are you using EZ NIM to build the environment?

If you are going through he Hypervisor then do not define a Gateway. This has worked for me.

Thanks! All great suggestions. I took the idea of "set -u var" and added a "-u" to typeset command already used to set the varibles when the code was orginally written. It works like a champ.

I'm blanking on this one. I know there is a better way to do this. if [ $opt3 -eq "FAILED" -o $opt3 -eq "failed" ] Something like if [ $opt3 -eq "FAILED||failed" ] or if [ $opt3 -eq "FAILED" -o "failed" ] but I can't get it to work.

Ideally yes. It gives you another point of redundancy.

I do not like theme based naming if you have multiple data-centers or server locations. It gets real confusing. It does add some character to a data center. I.e. having a failover server named "Plan B" or something like that.

There is an older version of NMON that you can use for AIX 4.3.3. If you use nmon look at the nmon merge, rrdtools, and nmon charts tools. I'm using them to post server stats on our intranet for performance monitoring. Its really nice because with nmon charts, I've tweaked it to run almost...

I had the vendor send memory with matching FRUs. The P-570 likes the same DIMMs for some reason. Thanks for your help.

I'm running a P-570 with 20Gigs memory installed and I've ordered an additional 8 Gigs DIMMs. I'm planning on installing the new memory, however the FRUs are different from the new and what is installed and IBM is saying it will not be configurable. I'm running other servers with memory DIMMs...

RGM, thanks for the tip, I'll run it by our DBAs. I believe for some reason we still have to do cold backups.

I'm running a DS4300 with Flash copy to a P-570 with 6 LPARs and I'm thinking through the backup/restore scenario. My thoughts are to bring down the app and oracle, flash the drive, then bring everything back up. Then mount the VG of the flashed drive to a backup LPAR and move it to tape for...

You can try echo "${MIN_VAL} ${DATE1}" >> $FILE1

MRN, thanks for that link. I've been looking for the HBA drivers for 5.3 for the FC6227. BIG HELP!

Some things to look at are the scsi adapters. Ultra 3 is much faster than Ultra 2, also your buffers can make a hung difference.

In the time you can use ftp.allow. I'm moving to SSH as well.
