Hello I dont know why IBM has changed options in Fix central , but the way it is changed , introduced challenges for end users. For example , my TL/SP was at 6.1-09-01 and when i installed bos.cluster.rte , now it has become 6.1-09.00. That is fine , i know that i have to install...

Thanks everyone for their help on this. I configured NPIV successfully and added more paths to VIOS rootvg as well. However i have an observation that be default reserve_policy for all disks appear to be "single path", although i am using SDDPCM on both VIO ( because of SAN boot ) and AIX...

Guys I did recently a fresh installation of VIO lpars using single path from SAN. VIO lpars are booting well from SAN now. My question is that can i use same FC port which is being used currently for VIO lpars to boot , for booting AIX client lpars using NPIV? In other words can i create...

Guys I do have two storage pools in a new v7000 and two mdisks ( one mdisk mapped to one storage pool ). Both mdisks are RAID-10 but of different sizes ( 3+3 and 2+2). I do have my DB2 volume ( database plus logs ) on same volume but volume is under IO stress recently with almost 85%...

Guys I am facing an issue with hosts connected to V7000. Although mapped volume is currently accessible from host however when i go to check detailed properties for hosts, FC ports for hosts is showing in degraded status ( though nodes being shown logged in)... Another confusion is about...

Thanks Tony, I would ask one more question here . As there are at least 5 HP UX servers which are connected to EVA and we would like to start with one test server first. Now question is that i will change zoning for this test server only ( i mean v7000/EVA zone plus HP UX/V7000 zone ) but i...

Guys I am about to perform a data migration from HP EVA 4400 to V7000. Host servers are HP UX servers, which are not using any additional multipathing software other than built in PVLINK. I do have following questions , as i am doing first time using V7000. Q1. When i will change zoning , as...

Guys I am trying to do a mksysb restore on target Lpar which is almost similar to source Lpar. When i say almost , it means that rootvg disk size is exactly same. When i try to restore through NIM on target Lpar , i am successfull in reaching up to mksysb restoration menus.. meaning that...

Hi p5wizard, I did it through manage_disk_drivers command which is not very known but seems very powerful, It was earlier showing on VIO that present driver for DS5100 is SDDPCM, i switched it to AIXAPPM ( AIX native MPIO); after restart disk types remained same , but present driver switched...

Guys I do have a VIO server which is bein installed with SDDPCM for suppoting IBM DS5100.. Now i want to remove it from VIO server as i now know that SDDPCM is not supported on VIO servers with DS50000. Can anybody guide me how should i do that... By the way , what is the output of...
