Fedora 11. Im trying to setup kickstart so it lays out a mirrored volume group. I have 2 disks sda and sdb. I want a primary partition on each disk 200mb in size for /boot. This is to be mirrored onto raid device md0 (raid 1). The rest of each disk is to be setup partition which grows to use...

Anyone know what the default single user mode password is for VIO ? The version I am using is 1.5 FP 10. Its hanging on boot due to network type issues, meaning i never get a login prompt. Booted to single user mode so i could have a look around, but it asks for a password, and I dont know...

Hi All What is the best way to deal with heavily fragmented files on a jfs2 filesystem ? I have seen other threads where it has been suggested that removing data from the filesystems, either by copying to temp location, create new filesystems, and then restore. I was rather hoping that would...

Ive found some notes online which indicate that extension of stiped logical volumes can be achieved by adding additional striped columns. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix5l-lvm.html However, what Im really after is the ability to increase the existing stripe width online. I...

I saw an earlier thread regarding VIO and 3rd party monitoring agents, but no conclusion as such. Anyone using any 3rd party agents ? In particular Openview.

Been a while since ive done this, so im a little rusty. Heres the scenario. I have 2 VIO servers running on a p570 (primary and standby) providing virtual scsi luns from a DS8000 to my client lpar. VIO1 VTD $ lsmap -vadapter vhost3 SVSA Physloc...

I have a p570 which needs to be migrated to a new datacentre location. The current HMC is not being moved though, the p570 will migrated onto a new HMC in its new location. My question is once the p570 is installed, and has connectivity to the new HMC, will i need to re-create the lpar...

Ok, I have found a solution to this, but it looks a little ugly, so i thought id see if you guys can come up with something more elegant. Im creating a first boot script resource for use with NIM automated installs. I want the fb_script to do lots of things, but the part i have been puzzling...

Hi All Come across a strange one today. A newly built p550 at AIX 5.3 TL7 01-0748 with the following openssl and openssh installed. openssh.base.client 4.5.0.5302 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Commands openssh.base.server 4.5.0.5302 COMMITTED Open Secure Shell Server...

Ok, i want to see what the general opinion is for an idea which i am considering. The problem. - My company manage host and manage a number of pSeries systems, across multiple remote DC's. Some of the customer environments are small standalone servers which do not use a HMC, either because...

I guess as the beta is closed now, AIX 6.1 queries go in this forum ? Well, heres my issue. My global partition is at 6100-00-02-0750, with 2 system wpars running. I have installed the latest openssl filesets into the global partition. openssl.base 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open...

Anyone else having problems upgrading to the latest V7R320 ? I have downloaded the 2 zip files, and placed them onto a local ftp server. I then try and perform a remote upgrade. My HMC is currently at V7R310, and just sits there saying downloading updates. 2 hours passed, and its still just...

Can anyone explain to me the concept of memory pools ? Id like to understand why the number of memory pools differ across identically sized and configured lpars on a P6-570 It has been suggested to me that memory pools relate to the location of physical memory. EG if 6gb of memory is...

Ive not used concurrent I/O before, so i just want to check what im doing is correct. I have a system being built with Oracle 10g & SAP ECC6.0. I have laid out the filesystems as below, and have mounted the oracle data, archive, redo, mirror filesystems as namefs with cio. The parent /oracle...

Im trying to understand what issues or complications might arise from the following theoretical issue. Lets say i have 2 x p570, each running dual VIO servers, serving a number of virtualised lpars. The VIO servers are providing both virtual ethernet and scsi to the client lpars. The client...

My company use NetIQ monitoring agents on standard AIX clients. I gather that installing these onto VIO partitions is unsupported, but what would that mean in real terms ? Would IBM refuse support ? If so, what monitoring alternatives are available ?

Im setting up secure websm for a number of clients HMC's, which i and my colleagues manage from pc laptops. These are completely different and isolated client solutions. It has occured to me that the public key ring file which comes from each clients HMC CA will have the same filename, so cant...
