Am trying to deploy Cacti monitoring tool to capture my systems AIX,
FreeBSD, SuSE, RHEL, Cisco
I was able to monitor most of the devices via cacti, but AIX boxes had
some probs with them
most of the AIX boxes run
bash-3.00# oslevel -r
5300-07
bash-3.00# uname -a
AIX prod1 3 5 00CF81CF4C00
bash-3.00# instfix -i | grep ML

I want to extend a volume group to another EMC LUN to get more space.
I added the new LUN and made it available to the system:
# lspv

active
hdisk1 000a004e868eccb8 rootvg

Hi,

When I mount a DVD+RW on AIX 5.3 (-rv cdrfs )
the names of my files are with 8.3 format
How can I avoid this ?

Thanks in advance

Can someone help me out how to find dual core processor in aix

I have a P570 with 2 FC adapters, each connected to their own McData
4500 switch which is in turn connected to a controller.

HBA0 --> switch 1, port 0 --> controller A
HBA1 --> switch 2, port 0 --> controller B

I have a couple of luns, hdisk3 and hdisk4 both about 10gig.

When I assign (ownership/preferred path) the logical volumes to
controller A, my system performance tanks. When you do a 'iostat 2',
you will consistently see %%tm_acct near or at 100%% with no disk
activity. When you assign the lv's to controller B, no disk issues.

I looked at the switch error logs and there is nothing about errors on
any of the ports, nor is there any errors on the SAN or in AIX. With
that said, i have to feel that something is definitely wrong with the
path to Controller A.

Hello,

we use a technical user to send out ascii mails from our AIX box to
different users. Answers of this emails re expected to be send to a
different email address however.
Unfortunately users often response by clicking a their "reply" button
which vields into unread emails at the AIX box. Any chance for us to
solve this w/o sth like "DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL" line ?

I connect from my Windows box to a AIX 5.3 box using SecureCRT, which
allows the transfer of X11 packets to my local box.

When I log in as myself into the box, with my local Cygwin-provided X
server running, I can display windows perfectly fine.

However, if after logging in, I then "sudo" to an administrative
account and then try to run something that tries to display windows,
it says that it can't connect.

I tried doing "env | sort" from both my user account and the
administrative account, to compare the differences. On the admin
shell, I set the following env vars from their value on my user
account:

DISPLAY, SSH_AUTH_SOCK, SSH_CLIENT, SSH_CLIENT, SSH_CONNECTION,
SSH_TTY

However, it still fails to connect. I imagine that one of these
variables is "tied" to my user account somehow, and won't work if I
just copy the value over (probably a good idea :) ).

So, what can I do to facilitate this connection from the admin account
to my local box's X server?

I am trying to install bos.clvm.enh from the HACMP V5.2 for AIX media.

I get the error posted below. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? It doesnt seem to be on the OS CD, Its not on the HACMP
media. Im not sure where to look.

Thanks in advance

Ted

Hi all,

I have a Managed client I am trying to remove. It will not allow me
to remove it because it believes it is running a base installation.
But this is not the case.

How can I reset the Cstate so I am them about to reset this and remove
it?

Thanks

On Solaris, I'm used to being able to use the UCB ps with multiple "-
w" args to get all of the command line. Is there any way to get the
same information with AIX 5.3?
