Hi

Below are the new luns added by the storage team. My cluster setup is a three node HA cluster. I could see the below mentioned luns on all the three nodes :

Code:
hdisk26        00084dd0ef986943                    None
hdisk27        00084dd0ef988d1f                    None
and we tried to extend the shared volume group through the following steps.

smitty hacmp-->System Management (C-SPOC)-->HACMP Logical Volume Management -->Shared Volume Group-->set Characteristics of a shared volume group-->Add a volume to a shared volume group

We have selected the following shared volume group and resource name.

esbsirg3, sirg3vg1

then selected the new disks..i.e hdisk 26 and hdisk27. After hitting enter, we got the following error..

cl_extendvg: Error executing extendvg sirg3vg1 hdisk27 hdisk26 on node esbsit03

Can any one please advise why we get this error ?

IBMR2 backup server

I am building a backup IBMR2 server with AIX 4.3 operating system. The application uses a TUXEDO front end. I am getting an authorization error when I try to bring the system up with tpchkauth error. I need to know how to find the value of this field so I can compare it to my production server. Is there a simple way to do this? Am I going about this the wrong way? I know next to nothing about UNIX and AIX.

Hi all,

my first post. Be kind to me and to my english writing (i'm french) :)

During mksysb backup, some files are moving. I don't know yet which files (i'm starting a new job). For now, i'm wondering which fs are mandatory for a mksysb backup.

Currently, hereafter the content of rootvg :

AIX How to exchange hostname and IP address between two AIX servers?

November 15, 2012, 12:09 pm

Hi all,

I am trying to exchange hostname and IP address of two AIX machines.

But i am confused as how to change it ?
do i need to use "smitty mktcpip" or "smitty tcpip" ?

what is the difference between smitty mktcpip and smitty tcpip ?

Also anymore steps to follow or just updating using smitty is enough (hoping that no reboot is required)

Also below is the procedure i want to use for the whole process of swapping hostname and IP address:

1) remove server A from network and update hostname and IP address (to Server B's hostname and IP) using smitty

2) move network connection cables from server B to server A

3) update hostname and IP of server B (to that of server A's old values)

4) attach network cables removed from server A to server B

Does this procedure is good to go ?

Thanks in advance!

2nd SSH doesn't work with AD

Recently I decided to intall second daemon of SSH for Winbind users.
I mean I have configuration AIX + Samba + AD and I can login to the server via SSH with AD accounts to 22 port without any problems.
But now I have second installation of OpenSSH and don't understand why I can't do the same with that ?
I compiled it with :
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/openssh --with-pam --with-kerberos5=/usr/krb5
$ make
$ make install
... and was nothing errors.

My config files on both daemons ssh is equal except Port (22 / 222)

Code:
$ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | egrep -v "(^#.|^$)"
Protocol 2
SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication yes
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes
UsePAM yes
UseLogin yes
PermitUserEnvironment yes
PidFile /var/run/sshd.pid
Subsystem      sftp    /usr/sbin/sftp-server -e -l DEBUG3
On the second new one SSH I can login only with local users, but can't login with Winbind : (

Remote Script command logging question

November 16, 2012, 7:46 am
$

I've noticed that when running a script that connects to a number of our servers (to essentially run batch commands) that the commands aren't logged in the user's .sh_history or .bash_history files. Is there a place where this is logged (assuming the script itself isn't doing the logging and I'm not tee'ing the output anywhere)?

I'm talking specifically about AIX, but I would assume this question applies to all the *nix flavors.


As a tag-along to this post, I often nohup these commands (like sendmail -bi) so the script can run through all the hosts quickly. What can I enter in the script to create one large nohup.out on the machine running the script that's reaching out to all the others?Right now I've got
Code:
for node in `cat /home/root/script/shortlist`
#for node in `cat /usr/local/bin/AIX_server_list`
do
echo $node
ssh $node lssrc -s sendmail
echo "***"
ssh $node cp /etc/aliases /etc/aliases.old
scp -p /etc/aliases $node:/etc/aliases
ssh $node nohup sendmail -bi &
ssh $node lssrc -s sendmail
ssh $node cat /home/root/nohup.out >> ~/script/sendmailbi_log.txt
echo "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%"
done
but that failed miserably, I'm guessing that's because the nohup was given via an ssh and not in an interactive shell so nothing got logged?

Hey buddies,

I'd love to seek and destroy the cause of this error > . <

I get this in my browser (Error 500: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError) when I unsuccessfully try to access my Vios - IVM adress :(

To recover access to IVM adress I have to enter "oem_setup_env" mode and "kill -9 java's PID" (topas result attached - Java PgSp is usually over the value printed)

But after some time it happens again!

How can I proceed to solve this at once?

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

my sysadmin installed Vim packages (vim-enhanced-6.3-1 & vim-common-6.3-1) on an Aix system (7.1.0.0).

I log in using Putty (vs 0.54) and got an annoying underline issue. All strings and var names are underlined as you can see on the attached file Attachment 3831

Is it possible to get rid of that functionnality ?

I'm having this trouble when smit update_all.

My doubt, is there a bos.adt.lib 5.3.9.0 on this TL ? why can't I install it

Questions about setting up GPFS

November 19, 2012, 6:42 pm

Hello, I need to test whether our product will work with GPFS filesystems and I have some questions regarding the setup:

1. Do I need to dedicate an entire hard disk if I want to have GPFS on it? Or can I somehow split a disk into 2 virtual disks, and only use 1 for gpfs?
2. If lspv returns "none" that means the disk is connected but has not been allocated, and thus available for use in GPFS setup?
Example (hdisk3):
Code:
[root@aix01: /]# lspv
hdisk0          00ca0c3546524b4e                    rootvg          active
hdisk1          00ca0c35797dab06                    vg1            active
hdisk2          00ca0c35797daba9                    vg1            active
hdisk3          none                                None
hdisk4          00ca0c35645c51bf                    san1            active
hdisk5          00ca0c3564646ef3                    san2            active
3. Do I have to have a second node in order to create a cluster and create a gpfs on that cluster? Or can I start with one node (just to test functionality) and add a second node later? (basically, can I use that one system above with hdisk3 available to test gpfs on its own?)

Thanks in advance

Not using all CPU's?

Hi guys,

I am a bit confused here,

I have attached the nmon report extracted from one of my systems.

I've never seen something like this. It appears that all the cpu usage is being utilized on one CPU and the others appear to be idle or hardly used. I've seen this in a few systems recently. Now I know that their paging space is not setup correctly. and I'm going though the steps to show them that it needs to be changed. I have attached a simplified nmon log if someone can look at it and tell me if they can see why only one cpu is being utilized would be great as I've not seen this before.

Here is the lparstat

Code:

Sysback command line

We used sysback to backup some older servers and now need to restore some of the directories within a file system. I've tried to use smitty sysback to list the content of the file system but there are over 3000 entries. I'm looking for a command that would allow me to list out the directories to a file so I can send it to the group that wants the restore and they can specify which directories need to be restored.
