Thanks m4ilm4n, but I cannot use a network server. I have to burn out the image onto a DVD, probably when running in single mode. This should be a backup/recovery automated procedure to run before to install some critical system update. I will check it out as well

Hi experts, I come from AIX systems where there is a system tool to create auto-installing system images for recovery purpose when every attempt to bring the damned system up goes wrong. I would like to reproduce something like, only for well known systems with a specific and well known...

Hi experts, in shell scripts funcion must be defined before the main code invokes them. i.e. like the following: #!/bin/sh sub1 (){ blah blah } # # MAIN # sub 1 exit Is it the same also for TCL ?

Hi everybody. I read a problem posted months ago about nimadm and SSH (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1597437). After several months I had had the same problem, and I had to face the fact nimadm is almost an "As Is" feature. So to circumvent the rsh limitation problem I wrote a shell...

mensafool, I used something like this to detect the physical memory usage: #!/usr/bin/ksh GetTop10 () { ps gl |awk '{print $4" "$11" "0}'|sort -nr +1|tr " " ":"|head } ME=$(basename $0) typeset -i counter=0 oldcounter=0 MEM=0 OldTop10=$(GetTop10) TRESHOLD=1048576 while true do sleep 600...

ogniemi, try to get a look on how to set up the "Disk I/O pacing" http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.prftungd/doc/prftungd/disk_io_pacing.htm

Two blocks of distance is not a problem. HACMP/XD probably would be too much, like use a gun to kill a fly. The only thing is you should not use RS232C connections for heartbeat network and use disk network instead.

Oh... I see... yes probably Transoft gives you the way to query your flat files as like a RDBMS. Well, the best idea is to look on the Transoft docs if there is a CLI runnable on server side. Good Luck!

Thanks ogniemi, indeed I have solved by managing the export side in an application server and the import side using the automountd

I beg you pardon tsm05... you weren't that clear. You have a DB (which kind? MySQL? Oracle? DB2...) on an AIX machine? Do you wish to run some SQL statements on this AIX system and then send the output to some other server using FTP? Do you wish to run all this stuff from another machine i.e...

Hi everybody, I have some problem with HACMP 5.4.1 and NFS. I have to export some filesystems to about 100 servers which, obviosously, aren't part of the cluster. Regarldess what stated in the manuals, I can write all the nodes I wish in the /usr/es/sbin/cluster/etc/exports but HACMP will export...

Hi everybody, in Oracle world it is possible to perform a full backup of a DB, configured in archive log mode, to restore it on a different machine and to keep it aligned with the "master copy" simply by rolling back the archived logs produced on the "master copy". Is it possible to do the same...

Hi everybody, do you know if there is some redbook explaining the Z fields of the lscfg's output executed for a fibre channel adapter (like lscfg -vpl fcs0)? Thanks a lot in advance

p5wizard, a long time ago I have found a white paper in which there where a double striping on SAN side and on LVM side. The writer assured that that was the most performant configuration. The fact is, probably to have two different level of striping WOULD give you something in performance...

Annihilannnic, I see what you say... the do.. BLAH BLAH.. done process is ran in a different process in a proper space when reading from a pipe... It sounds... but it means also that legions of scripts wont run with this impementation of shell... Thanks a lot
