Does anyone know the nim command to run on the master to do a savevg on a nim client and back up ONLY the VG structure data and not the actual data? I tried to go through the smit screens and that option isn't there when you create a new resource in NIM vs do a regular smit savevg. Thanks in...

This request may be a little unorthodox but figured I would give it a shot. I work as an AIX/SAN Admin in the San Diego area and we are conducting a DR test in Philly in early November. Unfortunately I do not have ANY means to test a restore of my TSM/NIM Server MKSYSB tape and the entire...

Hello all -- I need to be pointed in the right direction with installing a DS4300 Expansion Drawer. I currently have 4 drawers and am adding a 5th with 14drives. IBM is doing the hardware install, but they are telling me there is some configuration/things to look out for etc. that the client...

Great link - Thank you! You guys have always been a great source of knowledge, tips, and tricks. Sorry, previous reply wasn't meant to be smarmy if it came off that way. If anyone has any other home-grown capacity planning tools using nmon or other scripts that they are willing to share, it...

That's what I am going to do, but I was checking to see if there was a method that already existed before taking the time to develop something myself with Excel. Thanks.

Hello All - I have used the NMON Analyzer provided by IBM where you select an NMON Daily Collection CSV file and run the Macro and it generates a bunch of information. What I am interested in is finding a tool where I can select multiple days worth of NMON Collections and Generate a...

Thank you all so much for your help!

Thanks for the reply.....The command lsuser -f -a time_last_unsuccessful_login ALL |\^J perl -p -e 's/=(\d+)/sprintf("= %s",scalar localtime $1)/e' Gave me the output in the following format: bp4929: time_last_unsuccessful_login= Thu Nov 2 16:28:25 2006 cmsoms...

Sorry - just to be more specific.... I want to cat the /etc/security/lastlog file and grep for just the username and lastlogin time. Then I want to convert the seconds to a "real" date and out it in a csv file with a simple username, last login/never logged in type output. I am just very weak...

I need to run a script/command to identify users on my system that haven't logged in within the last 30/60/90 days. What is the best way of going about this? I'm guessing doing a query on /etc/lastlog? How do I convert the date. If someone has an example of a script that can do this that...

I am not sure what the run queue is by CPU. Is this something I can look up? Is it configurable? What is the appropriate run queue for a Oracle DB server?

I have an AIX 5.2 system with 8 CPUs. When I do a ps -ef | grep wait I see I have 32 processes out there (assuming 4 per CPU). Only 8 (in accordance with number of physical procs) have CPU time attached to them. Just wondering what causes so many to be spawned? Is this normal? Can it be...

Looks like that will work. For some reason I was under the impression that resetting an active queue with jobs in it would interrupt the jobs. I guess that is not the case? Thanks for all your help. I'll be putting that script into cron today.

I think that would be a better idea. I am very weak in scripting. Does anyone have a script/syntax for looking for print queues in DOWN state and starting them? Any help is greatly appreciated. As you can tell I am somewhat of a newbie.

I have set up some print queues on my AIX 5.2 system that keep going into a DOWN state I am not sure if it is related to the application, but as a workaround I would like to put a retry in there. I am not sure of the syntax to use in the /etc/qconfig file. Here is an example of one of the...
