SSA Recovery
I've recovered an old AIX 4.2 box. I've imported all the VG's on the internal disks. Now I need to move onto the SSA enclosure. I'll preface this by saying the root of all my problems over the past few weeks was that my SSA disks went offline. Thinking it wasn't hardware (because how weird... -
Restoring my system from MKSYSB
Well, if you've seen my other threads you know the whole saga. Dropping all previous posts, this is my situation. I've got a 7013 that was running AIX 4.2 when something happened to it to make it semi-disfuntctional. Where I am now is, I have 4 blank disks. I've installed AIX 4.2 and I'm at... -
How do I know if a disk is blank? AIX 4.2
I'm having trouble with my system and I want to start over on it. I have 4 physical disks in the system. It >>SEEMS<< to me that HDISKs 1-3 are all unused. But before I start moving them around and overwriting them I want to make sure what I'm seeing is correct. I want to make sure that they... -
BOSBOOT: Error in STRIP
This is an extention of my "Broke my 7013" thread. I've done so many things to fix this system (Short of a MKSYSB restore, it's old and management really doesn't want to do it) Recap, I installed some drivers and now my system gets to {299} Then gives me a flashing 888 102 700 0c8... -
AIX 4.2.0.0 7013 box broken - Final call for help.
This is my last SOS flare. If you read this all I greatly appreciate your attention. None of the sugestions given to me in past posts have helped me. I can only assume that the suggestions were based on newer versions of AIX or that they don't take into account that the only access I have to... -
SMIT Terminal Emulation
I'm using a 3151 terminal on a 7013 on AIX 4.2 in maintenance mode. When not in maintanence mode, the terminal emulation works fine. When in maintanence mode, SMIT no longer works correctly, I cannot use my arrows to select anything. I've changed me TERM a hundred times using all different... -
I broke my 7013 O/S by loading drivers.
I have a problem with my RS-6000. It's an old 7013. Our SSA adapters stopped working. Thinking it was a software problem, I installed new drivers from the cards that I got from IBM. (AIX 4.2, BTW) The next reboot gave me an 888 700 102 0c8 Telling me there was some sort of software... -
Locating 4.2 drivers for SSA Card 6214
IBM no longer supports the drivers under this OS. We have an old 7013 system that's online solely for archival purposes. Whenever we need to find old sales data we go to the old ERP system and pull it out. We have no desire to upgrade anything on this machine. It's not evern Y2K compliant so...
