Will this failover still work if something beyond the first gateway does not respond, or is it dependant purely on the gateway itself having the problem before the failover? Thanks, LHLTech IBM Certified ATE

I'm trying something similar, but we have two gateways that are ours and will always be running, but connected to two different ISP's - so that our website is always available even when one ISP goes down. So, what I need to know is, using metrics, will the fact that my gateway is up and running...

An example using 'find' and 'cpio' would be something like find ./ -type f | cpio -puvd ./backup But I can't help feeling this is over-egging the pudding. Works though... LHLTech IBM Certified ATE

You could try this... it works, but not sure if it will work in your context PRSQR=`ls pktpr4+(2[6,8-9]|3[0,5,9]|4[1,4]|5[4,9]|6[0,3,6-8]|7[0-3,6]|9[1-3,7])*` echo $PRSQR The first line executes the command and stores the output in the variable PRSQR. The second line will display the...

A little script like this (not exactly elegant) will do the trick. USAGE: script_name <oldfile> <newfile> #/bin/ksh rm -f $2 startup_count=0 while read line do wrk1=`echo $line | grep ^STARTUP | cut -d&quot; &quot; -f1` if [ &quot;$wrk1&quot; = &quot;STARTUP&quot; ] then...

Ok - thanks for your help LHLTech IBM Certified ATE

Aye, well it looks like that is the option we would have to go for.. it's not so much the client complaining but their auditors - has anyone ever come across auditors that don't make the most ridiculous requests for servers? *8-) LHLTech IBM Certified ATE

Is there any official documentation from IBM anywhere from that effect. I need to be able to show that to the client as their auditors are insisting that we do this change for them. I personally agree that it should not be done, but they pay us, and at the moment won't listen to our &quot;We...

Hi, I am trying to set a maximum number of login retries for the root account on a server to 3. I am able to do it for all other users, but it seems as though the root account is exempt from this. I have tried everything I know (/etc/security/user) and even tried locking the account, but...

Hi, I'm about to build myself a new PC and have narrowed my choice of motherboard down to two. Abit NF7-S nForce2 (Socket A) Motherboard and Abit AT7-MAX2 (Socket A) Motherboard v2.0 I'm a fan of Abit - have used them before so I'm happy to stick with them. I've read reviews of both, and...

If you have routed or gated daemons running, they are used for Dynamic Routing. Any host on the network that supports dynamic routing and can broadcast RIP messages (or other routing protocols) to your RS6000 informing it of a new route. If you don't want to use dynamic routing you will have...

Sendmail v8.11 is supplied with AIX 5.1L, so this at least is supported by IBM. LHLTech IBM Certified Specialist - AIX System Support Halfway through CATE exams!

Hmmm - if you had tried that, you would know that is not correct. The IBM website is as unhelpful as ever. I spent about 4 hours trying to get the information from IBM before posting here as a last resort. I did find www.lto.org though which had a lot of the LTO/Ultrium specifications, and I...

To get the COBOL run-time system to work, you also need to set the environment variable LIBPATH which should point to the libraries of your COBOL software e.g. export LIBPATH=/usr/lib/cobol or whereever. Hope that helps, LHLTech IBM Certified Specialist - AIX System Support Halfway...

Does anyone know how big (long) the interblock gap size is for an IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive? I'm having capacity problems (i.e. only getting 60GB on a tape) and would like to the IBG to try and calculate what is going wrong. Also, while I am at it, any ideas on how far before the end of the...
