I fixed the ODM problem... but bigger than that, was the problem that there was a VG descriptor written to the label of the raw Hitachi disk. Fix: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hitachidisk count=512". But uh... I wouldn't run that command unless you are certain of its outcome! HD

I have a IBM p690 attached to a Hitachi ESS. I created a vg using the exposed Hitachi drives (which has always been successful in the past), and it failed. Even though it failed, I still see the vg when I do an lsvg. If I run lsvg -l or -p, I get the error saying that I need to varyon the vg...

The fileset level is 5.1.0.25. As far as system upgrading, it has always been running AIX 5.1. It is currently at Maint 03, but it didn't work at 02 either. I appreciate the feedback! HD

All of my perforamance filesets are installed, and they are updated to their most current level. lppchk -v comes back with no errors... so I'm not sure what to do at this point. Thanks again.

Yes, I do. But I have questions it's validity since topas and xmperf are unresponsive. I get the following from vmstat: # vmstat 2 5 kthr memory page faults cpu ----- ----------- ------------------------ ------------ ----------- r b avm fre re...

When I run 'topas' I do not get Memory and Swap statistics. Also, when I run 'xmperf' and I open a Monitor, I get the error "Spmi Error code = 197", but again I receive no Memory or Swap info. What am I missing? A fileset possibley? Thanks! HD

But make sure that the user "oracle" has an .rhosts file as well it's HOME directory.

Run it with "su": su - oracle -c "rcp dan_test.txt oracle@blbrs580:/home/dan_test.txt"

I had put the "\" only to get to a new line. Omit that from the command, what I mean is, run: rcp dan_test.txt oracle@blbrs580:/home/dan_test.txt I know that seems picky, but it sounds like it is choking on the "\". Good luck...

You can run lslpp -la

It's possible that this is failing because you are root trying to rcp oracle owned files. You could try to su and run the command: su - oracle -c "rcp dan_test.txt \ oracle@blbrs580:/home/dan_test.txt" Hope that helps.

dpid2 is an outdate SNMP service. Unless you're using SNMP, you don't need this. You can disable this in /etc/rc.tcpip.

You need at least of the following set: The local host needs to be included in the remote hosts's /etc/hosts.equiv file and the remote user in NOT the root users OR The local host and user name is included in a $HOME/.rhosts file on the remote user account. Another way is to use rsync...

You could run find on your system for .rhost files. But another way would be to turn on system auditing (/usr/sbin/audit start). And then use the auditpr command to review the events on the system. You may need to tweak your /etc/default/audit/config file first though, in order to pick up...

You can use xmperf as well. It provides a much better GUI than the other command line stat utils. But you need to have the following filesets installed: perfagent.server perfmgr.analysis perfmgr.common perfmgr.network Enjoy!
