I have set the stack limit in /etc/security/limits for a user to 4194304, but if I su to that user and perform a ulimit -a, stack = 2097152. Is this normal? Do I need to set a higher hard limit on stack? This is in AIX 6.1 TL6 SP3.

Thank you for your response. I've applied but now I need to wait for an opportunity to reboot the system.

Has anyone experienced and issue where you use a find command on a cifs share directory/folder and the output appears to start looping before it finishes? I'm trying to perform a find /journals/domain_bak -print The results start scrolling but after a while it appears the files start...

I'm trying to restore an Exchange 2003 information store to a Recovery Storage Group on a cluster. The process erors out with an "Access Denied" and the Backup Exec Remote Agent ends up stopping. Has anyone else run into this situation before. I had this issue a while back but a reboot of the...

Thank you for the response. I can bring up man pages on enscript, but when I try to run the command, I'm told there are files missing. It looks like I'll have to download enscript.

Is the SAN an IBM SAN? If not you may want to verify with the manufacturer about recommended setting, especially queue depth, for AIX and the SAN. One of our markets had a 570 with an Oracle 9 application attached to a Xiotech SAN. Their queue depth was set to like 2 for each hdisk. This caused...

Does anyone know if there is a product that can take a report sent to a virtual printer and convert it to a .PDF file that can then be FTP'd off of the server? This would be for a 5.3 system.

We have an Exchange 2003 environment where we have one user having issues sending delayed messages to a distribution list. Sending delayed messages to individuals works, but if she sets one up to go to a distribution list, the message just sits in teh Outbox. The user is using Otlook 2003 to...

Here is the formula from the IBM DS4000 Best Practices and Performance Tuning Guide. I found it with the rest of the IBM Redbooks. For firmware level 6.1x and higher: 2048 / (number-of-hosts * logical drives-per-host), and for firmware level 5.3 and 5.4: 512 / (number-of-hosts * logical...

Thank you everyone who responded. I did check the disk documentation and using the formula's described found there can be slight adjustments to the queue depth. I will get performance data first to really determine if there truly is a need for the change though.

Personally, I don't want to make the change, since our performance seems to be OK. Plus everything I've read states that there should be no need for any change with IBM disks.

We have a few AIX 5.3 machines attached to an IBM DS4300 SAN. Since another region is running the same applications on another machine attached to a Xiotech SAN and they were experiencing response issues and slow backup times, Xiotech recommended changing the queue-depth settings on the disk...

As far as I see from my machine, and according to our workstation tech, the user has no rules. I opened the users mailbox from my machine and saw no rules, but that just means they are not on the server. I will have the user try a move through OWA, just to see what happens.

I have a user using Outlook 2003 that when he moves messages out of his Inbox to other folders, they end up going into Deleted Items. Other than looking at the Auto-Archive settings in the properties of the folders, is there anything else I can look at to figure out why this is happneing?

xmsre, thank you. That appears to be the issue. It looks like once a newer version of the AV, McAfee with EPO, was released to the servers the issue went away.
