    Changing the Maunufacturing Default Configuration (MDC)

    Thanks for the info. I was assuming I had to reboot these boxes, but hoping there was a slim chance that I didn’t have to. Oh well, thanks again!!

    Changing the Maunufacturing Default Configuration (MDC)

    Is there anyway to set the MDC to false without rebooting the AIX 5.3 Power5 server? We've added 20 servers to our new HMC. Currently, we cant open a Vterm (terminal window) on 15 of the servers. The fix, which will allow us to open a Vterm on a server connected to the HMC, is to have the MDC...

    Need to give DBA's permission to run chfs in AIX

    Thanks for responding Victorv. I'm trying to make it easy for the DBA's to change the file sysytem size by using smitty opposed to using the command line option. They might have to use the command line. I've investigated using SUDO and by giving them access to smit fs, I've given them root...

    Need to give DBA's permission to run chfs in AIX

    Question: What is the best way to give DBA's permission to increase a file size? I've looked into SUDO and that's not an option. The two commands they need to run are smit and chfs. Thanks in advance.

    LPAR question.

    Thanks DukeSSD. Here are the location codes. The new drive is attached the the SCSI card. (New SCSI card) scsi2 U0.1-P2-I6/Z2 Wide/Ultra-3 SCSI I/O Controller hdisk1 U0.1-P2-I6/Z2-A0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive

    LPAR question.

    Update: I have added a new SCSI card to the server and it resides in slot6 (IBM recommends slot 4, 5 or 6). The LPAR2 profile now sees the new SCSI card. When I go to change the boot devices in SMS on LPAR2, I can see and select the SCSI (card), but it won’t find any disk. This is what’s...

    LPAR question.

    The system has two scsi controllers. Is there any way to assign each disk to the different controller to make these LPARS work? scsi0 U0.1-P2/Z1 Wide/Ultra-3 SCSI I/O Controller scsi1 U0.1-P2/Z2 Wide/Ultra-3 SCSI I/O Controller

    LPAR question.

    Thanks chgwhat(Tony), for the info. Each Profile has a different scsi card assigned. Lpar1 has Slot_9/U0.1-P2/Z1 and Lpar2 has Slot_10/U0.1-P2/Z3. Am I correct in saying that both disks are attached to the same scsi? I booted off of Lpar1 and ran a prtconf. hdisk0 U0.1-P2/Z1-A8 16 Bit LVD SCSI...

    LPAR question.

    Thanks guys for the info. The firmware on the server is current, which is 3R080425. This critter is going to take a little more research to solve, but I think the link Khalidaaa has sent has put me on the right path. I will post what I find a little later, Thanks again.

    LPAR question.

    I’m getting an error !20EE000B! Code when I try to boot the second LPAR on our test Power4 system. (I’m trying to get familiar with LPARing) The server is a 7028-6C4 with 2 processors, 4 gig of memory, 2 NICs and 2 hard drives (each hard drive has 5.2 ML10 installed). The firmware is up to date...

    LPAR

    Thanks tempest92 for the info. It did help!

    LPAR

    Where can I found some good step by step documentation on how to create an LPAR for a VM? We have a test box (AIX5.3 machine) that we would like to play with and this seems like a good test that could be beneficial for us.

    help on /etc/security/user file

    Great guys, thanks for the help, I did not consider the passwd file. Yes, you are correct about changing the root password. We didn't want to change it as much as the users have to thiers.

    help on /etc/security/user file

    We have applied a new password policy for our organization about 3 months ago. The problem is that we are now being prompted to change the Root password. Which line needs to be added or modified in the /etc/security/user file to avoid having to change the Root password? Thanks for your help.
