    Is it possible to generate a new VGID for an existing VG?

    Short version: is it possible in any way to change the VGID on a VG? Long version: I am experimenting with using SAN snapshots to do backups of database LUNs. Our nightly process requires 2 full cold backups of a given database, which resides on an EMC SAN. The current process, for each cold...

    Backing up VMs... lots of them...

    Good afternoon. I am about at my wit's end to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have a *good* way of backing up 200+ VMs across 13 HA ESX hosts, backed with 16TB of SAN space? All of the hosts are managed by a VirtualCenter Server. --- Now, I have done ESX-level backups on some of our...

    can postfix add "comment" areas in address rewriting?

    I need to be able to convert an email address that comes in of the form [tab]user@domain.tld (with or without <>) to this form: [tab] "/field=value/" <user@domain.tld> Is postfix capable of doing this, and if so, how?

    Clariion CX3-40 using RAID5.. what's the raid5 stripe size?

    Does anyone know this value, or how to figure out it out? I haven't found anything easily so far. I have a need to stripe a large (for us) database across as many disks as possible, so I want to make sure the backend LUNs are using the same stripe size as Oracle (64k). And yes I know it...

    mixed storage platform environment

    Does anyone have much experience with a mixed environment of SN platforms? My server is an AIX 5.3 LPAR running on an IBM pSeries unit. I have three AIX storage nodes on remote networks, and have recently added a Windows storage node on another remote network. The Windows SN is giving me...

    Has anyone ever found a decent replacement for nsrwatch?

    VSS junk showing up out of the blue

    I have a large number of Windows clients that I back up, a mix of various versions of Windows. Since this weekend, many of them are generating savesets with "VSS"-related names. These have never shown up before in my system. Some of them are taking inordinate amounts of time to back up - one...

    Create new MPIO parent

    How does a device become an MPIO parent? I have a fscsi0 that I would like to be an MPIO parent since every LUN that shows up as two separate hdisks.

    any chance of a device shorthand in later versions?

    it really gets old to have to type "-f rd=storagenode:/path/to/advfile" for nsrjb and nsrmm. having a 2 or 3 character shorthand to refer to a particular device would be nice; it's not like they change a lot.

    MSSQL savesets...

    I'm deploying some NM for MSSQL, and have it functioning correctly: I have a group and client definition with the MSSQL: line in the saveset list, and the arrangement properly backs up all databases. Is it possible in any way to get the "name" field as viewed from mminfo to be a little more...

    Help with VIO networking...

    Someone vanished on me, and I'm left with a P5 that has a pair of upgraded VIO servers, but no networking configuration. Setting up that particular area isn't something I'm totally comfortable with, or familiar with, so I'll lay out the whole situation. I have one P5, with a pair of VIOs...

    Sharepoint? (using 7.2)

    I'm currently running Networker 7.2.1, and just got tasked with backing up an inherited Sharepoint system. If I'm reading the docs right, I have to be at least 7.3 to use the Sharepoint module for Networker, I don't seem to be able to find anything that indicates the module exists for 7.2. Is...

    mksysb to dvd of a P5 lpar

    I'm trying to take a mksysb of my lpar that serves as the nim/network-mksysb server for the rest of the lpars. the destination media is a dvd-ram. the dvd drive is allocated to this lpar, but I'm getting this from it: Running cdrecord ... Cdrecord 1.9 (powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0) Copyright (C)...

    POWER5 and AIX 5.2

    I have a POWER5 unit that is 2xVIO, and a metric ton of AIX 5.3 systems, all micropartitioned. I have been asked to build an AIX 5.2 LPAR on it. The first problem I ran into, is that it seems that AIX 5.2 is not compatable with micropartitioning, so I dedicated a single CPU to it. Now, all of...

    power5 micropartitioning - realtime cpu allocation viewer?

    I'm looking for something like nmon that would give me a single-screen realtime view of cpu utilization levels of my LPARs, marking their mins, maxs, and what they are getting over their cap. Does such a tool exist?

    ssh on a VIO server?

    Does anyone know if there is any danger to installing OpenSSH on a VIO server? The main reason I want to do this is so that I can perform certain activities remotely. Our 570 is attached to a SAN, so when I need additional disk space, there's a nice bit of black magic involved to make that LUN...

    Networker through firewall clarification

    I'm researching setting up Networker (server is 7.1.3) on some of my DMZ'ed machines again. I've never found the documentation to be terribly helpful for this so, I'd like to get a second opinion from anyone with some experience before I muck around with my live machines: Networker Server is...

    Is it possible to rewrite a subject line based on recipient domain?

    My postfix machine accepts mail for several domains, and relays all of it on to internal mailservers. That works fine. We are converting all of our mail to receive from a new domain, ie, "user@domain1.com" is also "user@domain2.com". Right now the world sends mail to user@domain1.com. We...

    network is slow in one direction, fast in the other...

    I have a W2KP machine and a FreeBSD machine on the same network (home) - 100M linksys switch. Both machines are at 100 full (and neither are 3com cards, so I don't believe 100F versus 100H is a problem) I'm using ftp (W2KP as client, FreeBSD as server) to test network speed. When I move data...

    domino 5 question from a non-domino admin

    Running Domino 5 on Windows 2000 Server. Our environment has multiple servers, one is the "primary" email server, another is the fallback. Theoretically, all notes databases on the primary server are supposed to have replicas on the fallback, but we are finding a few cases where that is not...
