getTgtRsrc command
Has anyone used the getTgtRsrc command successfully? This is a command found on NIM servers that can be used to query a managed system's vio servers through the managed system's HMC to get information about the resources on the vio servers. I am using this syntax: ./getTgtRsrc -hmc <name of... -
rootvg, migratepv, partition map file problems
I am having problems with rootvg. When trying to do anything with LVM, I get allocp errors. OS level is 5.3 TL4 SP3. The most revealing error I received was when I was trying to do a migratepv on one of the LVs. These are the errors: # migratepv -l hd3 hdisk0 hdisk4 0516-408 allocp: Illegal... -
multibos utility
Has anyone ever used the multibos utility in AIX 5.3 TL3 or higher? I'm trying to use it and keep getting this error: 0645-007 ATTENTION: mb_init_vars() returned an unexpected result. -
Daylight Savings Time rules change for US this year
I haven't seen anyone mention this here. After one of our vendors whose application uses a lot of Java said they had never heard of these changes, I thought I'd post this. Daylight savings time in the U.S. will start March 11 and end Nov. 4. In the past, DST started the first Sunday in April... -
paging space usage plummets
We have two paging spaces: hd6 and paging00. hd6 got up to 100% used. paging00 got up to 73% used. hd6 was one physical partition short of our standard of 2 GB. (The system has 2GB real memory and we allocate double the amount of memory for paging space. hd6 should have had 2 GB and paging had 2... -
64 bit kernel and JFS2 filesystems after alt_disk_install
We are doing an alt_disk_install on a 5.1 32-bit system. We want to have a 64-bit system with JFS2 filesystems when we boot to the new OS level. Is this possible without having to boot a second time to make it a 64-bit kernel? -
alt_disk_install problem
I am trying to do an alt_disk_install (migration) of a 4.3.3 system to 5.1 ML 07. The original OS disks (hdisk0 and hdisk1) were only 4 GB and couldn't hold much more data, so we had to add two 18 GB disks to the system. I mirrored the OS to one of the 18 GB disks, did a bosboot -ad hdisk2... -
devices.ibm.bsr device package
We installed a p520 using a mksysb from a 6C1 (yes, I know we shouldn't have done it that way). Now when I run a cfgmgr, the system complains that a device package isn't installed: # cfgmgr cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for device support but are... -

creating new syslog at boot
Is there an easy way to move the current syslog file to a new file and create a new syslog file every time the system boots? HP does this on every boot. Sun does it once the messages file gets to a certain size (or maybe it's age). But AIX's syslog just gets bigger and bigger. I'd like it to be... -
OS system defaults for 5.2
Does anyone know if there is a Redbook or other IBM doc that gives a list of system defaults (for just about everything: filesystem size, kernel, schedtune, vmtune settings, etc.) for an "out of the box" AIX systems, version 5.2? Unfortunately, I'm not at a place where I have a sand box where I... -

E4500 sees internal disks as disabled and is there redundant power?
My company has received an E4500 back from a customer, who wiped the two internal disks. I am now trying to install a new operating system on those disks and got to an error message saying the disks were disconnected. The board that holds the disks has an amber light on the side where the disks...- bi

Are 9 GB disks big enough for a system with 6 MB memory?
I have a couple of E4500s that each have 6 MB of memory each. More memory might be added later. Each have 2 internal disks that are 9.1 GB each. There is no OS on the systems and I am not sure which version will be required (7, 8 or 9). They will be connected to disk arrays that will hold...- bi
