On a service domain I have two x quad NIC's, with IPMP enabled for one port cabled-up on each quad. One of the NIC's has failed-over in the past - but wasn't noted (its a test environment.) Accordingly the virtual NIC in the guest LDOM's have done the same. I've been trying to figure-out the...

I have a P690 with the latest and greatest combined system/platform/SCSN firmware, but with LPARS on AIX 5.1. The 7040-61R HMC is on 3.26 (!). I am tasked with a upgrade the LPAR OS's to 5.3 TL 6, but before I do so I am seeking to upgrade the HMC to 3.3.7, with an initial upgrade to 3.3.5...

Hi! I have an AIX partition exhibiting some strange though not particularly annonying behaviour with the "ps" command but only when it is piped to "wc" This happens during random times of the day or night; timex ps -ef | wc -l real 11.64 user 0.08 sys 7.24 2014 (processes) At...

Hi! I am hitting an undefined snag when trying to add a 13GB Hitachi LUN to an already-established volume group. The volume will work with a new volume group no problem. Here's the error; 0516-008 extendvg: LVM system call returned an unknown error code (-1). 0516-792 extendvg...

Hi! I have a server running the old ASE 11.0.3 on AIX 5.1. I have used TSM/SQL BackTrack (4.0.50) to copy a large database from another server, and this worked fine - despite every version of every tool being a tad old. Before restoring to my AIX 5.1 server I created the raw logical volumes...

Hi! I have a 2nd-hand P630 with a single 7311-D20 attached, with 12 x 146GB drives and two 2498 RAID cards in slots 4 & 7 at the rear of the 7311 - running 5.1 ML 3. Initially I could see the physical devices through the Disk Array Manager (PDAM) and with scraidmgr. I built an array, attached...

I have an old P660 that I want to add 2 CPU's to. It currently reports 4 processors; Name: PowerPC,RS64-IV Node: PowerPC,RS64-IV@0 Device Type: cpu Physical Location: U1.1-P1-C1 Name: PowerPC,RS64-IV Node: PowerPC,RS64-IV@2 Device Type: cpu Physical Location...

I have a P660 with 16GB installed that swaps for an overnight batch process for 4 hours. Performance drops to a crawl. nmon reports that at its peak, when physical memory is exhausted, "fsin" is occurring at 3470 (pages) per second. A page is 4096 bytes, so I am presuming the swap-in rate is...

Hi, I have a P660 with 4 x 750 Mhz R64's, 16GB RAM & hosting a single Oracle 10g instance. I'm performing a capcity exercise for anticipated future workload increase. I believe the server is I/O bound, but I don't know wat else to do to confirm this assertion. Would anyone be interested in...

Hi! I am scripting a solution that requires two characters to be replaced in a string that appears in a file (with other unrelated strings) and I'm struggling to figure-out a routine that will satisfy the requirement. The string is always consistent, and is in the form...

Hi! I have an S80 that has had an introduced 1000 BASE-T 2975 PCI adapter added, after the driver 14100401. The ML of the OS is 4330-08, and the tcp_sendspace and recspace have been set correctly and the mtu is 1500. However for the life of me I cannot get this NIC to broadcast, or rather...

(with apologies to Pearl Jam) I have a problem with a 7.2 server on HP-UX 11.11 (11iv1). There are 7.2 HP-UX clients and 7.0 clients. I cannot get any client to backup to this server, suing the save command. In the past backups have encountered no problems, but a save command from a remote...

I have a customer with some very old SP frames housing a mixture of mainly very old nodes. I think these predate the terms "Winterhawk" and "Silverhawk". They are MCA based and report as such; spgetdesc: Node 1 (spnode1en0) is a 200_MHz_SMP_High. spgetdesc: Node 5 (spnode5en0) is a...

I have a Networker 6.1.1 server running on HP-UX 11.00 A feature of the build is that bootstraps are written both to tape, and for DR purposes, the bootstrap file is written to a disk volume (/nsr_boot). The volume is mounted with the command; /opt/networker/bin/nsrmm -m -f /nsr_boot/ The...

Hi! I'm probably being a bit daft here, but the Networker Admin guide is a bit vague on this subject. I want to ensure that some bar-code labeled tapes, distinquished with a certain human-readable string on the cartridge label (the barcode and volume name configured as the same) are associated...

I'm planning a new Networker solution that will replace an unreliable TSM setup and an old (6.1.1) lightly-used Networker installation. However because of the elderly nature of some of the clients, I'm constrained from using the same version of Networker on both clients and servers. I'm aiming...

Hi, I posted a question regarding a duff elderly SP wide node some time ago (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1276979&page=2) The node was an MCA pre-Winterhawk designation unit, described by "splstdata -n" as a "135_MHz_P2SC_Wide" i.e. really, really old. This node wouldn't...

Hi! I'm investigating an SP frame and associated nodes that haven't been supported for some years (the previus admin team having been rendered redundant to cut costs). There was a power outage some months ago and some nodes can't be reached. Unfortunately my knowledge of SP's is postage-stamp...

A directory is just a file...a directory is just a file...a directory is just a file... I have a 5.1 LPAR with a 400GB file system; /dev/mnrg1prlv2 410255360 65261732 85% 416 1% /mndbpr1db2/mndbinp1 The mountpoint directory reports a size of 22MB drwxr-sr-x 5 mndbinp1...

Hi! I have a user with a V480 attached to a FastT700 array via a Qlogic (Sun-branded) XPCI1FC HBA. They use Solaris 8 with SDS. I am trying to generate a solution to employ aggragation and/or failover with a 2nd HBA. However I don't believe this combination will work or be supported with...
