Hi tim441, that would be correct - female to female. A 'normal' serial cable might look the same, the only visible difference between my null-modem serial cable and my serial cable, is that the null-modem one has a white face, while the 'normal' serial cable has a black face... Might be a...

Hi psi07004. As mentioned, I spoke to an IBM tech and he suggested that I get hold of a null-modem serial cable, which worked at the end of the day. Because I was able to connect to the brocade switch, I thought that mym cable was working, turns out that I should not be able to connect to the...

Just found out that I need to get a hold of either a null modem adapter for my existing cable or a null modem serial cable... busy sourcing one, will test it and see if it works. Thanks for the input! kat000003

Hi p5wizard, I have tried that too, but to no avail. I initially thought I was using the wrong cable, but my connection to the SAN switch was fine, so it's definitely not the cable.

Hi all. As part of my upgrade from AIX 5.2 to 5.3, I have upgraded the firmware on my P51A dev server. I still need to upgrade the ethernet adapter firmware before I go to 5.3 though, but I was unable to get a console connection up between my notebook and P5 server? I do not have an HMC.. I...

Thanks ogniemi, that helped a lot!!! Have run invscout and uploaded the file. I have also downloaded all of the suggested rpm's. I'll be testing the firmware upgrades and AIX migration to V5.3 on my Dev box next Saturday, I first have to upgrade the firmware on my DS4300 this Saturday, as I'm...

Thanks everyone for the input so far. I have started looking at the requirements again, as I need to complete this project on all of my servers by the end of July. Regarding the premigration script, is this something that I'll need to do before I boot from the first disk of the AIX 5.3 software...

Hi all. I'm planning to upgrade 5 X IBM P51A machines from AIX V5.2 to 5.3 in the next few weeks. Though the AIX upgrade itself should be simple enough (smit installp, install latest available software), I suppose I need to ensure that my firmware on these machines is up to the required levels...

Seems like we found the problem. We tested some changes to the home directory, 755 permissions were applied and it worked. Most of the documentation pointed to .ssh and its contents though... At least we know it works now!! Next project will be to create a new user ID for all batch ftp jobs on...

Hi all. A couple of months ago, I got SSH working on all 5 of my AIX V 5.2 servers. Due to company standards, I now need to disable ftp, but before I can do this, I need to get SCP working... I have logged onto system1 with user1, run ssh-keygen -t rsa, ftp'ed the id_rsa.pub file to system2 as...

Does anyone have an updated version of sp_dbspace for ASE 15 ? OR a proc to display the following ; DB Name, Data SIze (excl Log), Data Used, Log Size, Log Used, Total Records Note ; the proc sp_spaceused is not adeaquate.

I have tried the 'Power On System' option, but this simply return the screen to the menus again, so no luck there... I have also made sure that all power supplies are connected, but this should not have been an issue in the first place, as the power was never disconnected from these machines...

Mike, it has been there now since the time of my first post. Say at least an hour... Gloups - machine is not under maintenance anymore, and we are not using it in Production env, so I doubt my company will want to spend money on fixing it. Definite on the power supply failure though???

Hi all. I have an H80 at work that has been switched off for quote some time now. I tried to start it up, but the orange (flash) light comes on a couple of minutes after the power on button is pressed and . The LED simply displays 10111911 U1.1-V1 When I look at the terminal window, it is at...

Thanks chaps!!! That was what I wanted to hear - the consultant that helped with the implementation mentioned 32 Amps as well, so I def. think that is what I need. Thanks a lot. Justus
