Sounds like you have a failed disk drive. Is this still an issue?

You can change the user a couple of ways, the easiest would be if you have MPEX, VESOFT and using the ALTFILE command. ALTFILE ZIPJ;CREATOR=MGR.ACCT1. If you don't have MPEX, you can make a copy of the file, rename the existing file, the copy the file back to its original location. The user...

We are running AIX 5.2 with password hashing, occasionally user passwords are blank. This might be tied to using PWDADM against these accounts. Some accounts require the hash be deleted and rebuilt to reset the password. Has anyone else seen this issue? Thx

Is it possible to write a report to monitor the number of tapes in the scratch pool (If the number available to scratch falls below a threshold, I want to be notified)? If so, can someone get me started in the right direction (I'm new to NBU).
