Or you can mirror the volume group onto 2 disks, split the mirror and attach the second copy to your new machine. Something like the following link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1010934 Look at the "Splitting Off A New Independent Volume Group" section.

Still banging my head with this one, I've tried defining the DS variable as follows: DS[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] DSmailrelay DSmailrelay.domaim.com DS[mailrelay.domaim.com] Non of the above work and I've got several mails in the out queue that are deferred like so: t5UAWJ8G16253030 0 Tue Jun...

Hi iggsterman, it turns out that some mails are working, others don't. Whatever I specify as the mailrelay DS value I can't get it to work for certain addresses, which leads me to believe that something is screwy with our DNS (knows about some external addresses but not others). If I can stop...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Direct connection to the mail relay on port 25 works fine.

Hi, I have an AIX system running 5300-12-05. I'm trying to set up sendmail to forward all mails to a mail-relay host and have the following defined in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: DS[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] When I try to do a sendmail -v myaddress@mydomain.com I get: mydomain.com: Name server timeout...

That doesnt work unfortunately, just comes back blank. If I remove the space and run: lsvg | tr '\n' '' It comes back with 3 lines... But tr '\n' ' ' returns nothing Thanks John

Hi, I need a simple one liner to join lines taken from standard input so I can store this into a variable. Tried a few things but can't get exactly what I need. Any suggestions?\ Thanks,

Perhaps some kind of incremental backup system would help? Or possibly look to archive off older files if possible?

You could pipe through 'sort -u' to remove duplicate lines.

I'm trying to create the filesystems from the image.data file, not a script.. Can't post the file as it's on a restricted network that I can't access from here...

Probably a daft question.. I'm trying to create a few additional filesystems when doing a install from my 5300-06-01 spot (had same problem at 5300-04-00). I've added in the lv_data and fs_data stanza's into the customised image.data. After the lpar has installed, the logical volumes have...

Should be fine.

Hmm, well I've got my install working over NIM (reverse lookup issues I think..), but now I've found I've got NFS issues along with other problems. I can mount a filesystem from by NIM server, but it takes around 10 seconds to mount. When mounted I can't do an ls within the nfs mounted...

Were are running 5300-05-04. Jumbo frames are supported over etherchannel on our switches. tcp settings are: tcp_recvspace = 262144 tcp_sendspace = 262144 rfc1323 = 1

Hello, I've configured an etherchannel on my NIM Server using jumbo frames, setting the mtu on the interface to be 9000. Now I can't do NIM installs, I get an error when the system tries to get the bootfile: ERROR: icmp 3 icmp 3 : port unreachable ERROR: icmp 3 icmp 3 : port unreachable...
