Hi, We've got a customer with some W2008 activation problems. Some time ago another supplier sold them a W2008 server, and the supplier installed it with their own activation key, because the customer didn't have any Windows license left. Now this server keeps telling that Windows is not...

Thanks a lot. The tape is an internal DDS tape, also under the sissas1 adapter. I always thought that I had to remove a pci adapter, in order to dlpar it on the HMC, so in this case, when I saw it doesn't hang from a pci device I didn't know how to do it. Thanks.

Hi. A customer has got a Power 720 (8202-E4B) with internal DVD and tape units. He's got 3 lpars, and wants to dlpar internal dvd and tape from one lpar to another. It seems that the dvd and tape hang from U78AA.001.XXXXXXX-P1-T9 (RAID Controller), that should only manage dvd and tape (no...

Hi all. We've just received a NetBackup Appliance (52XX I think), and I've been asked to redirect all the logs to syslog, so it can be forwarded to AlienVault OSSIM. I've gone thru the documentation and I've googled around, but I don't find an example on how to redirect the logs. I've found...

You must boot from a boot media (installation media, or mksysb) that has the same oslevel (base level and tl level, and if possible same sp level). If you don't have the installation media, but you have another sever at same level you can do a mksysb or mkdvd and boot from it.

Hi, I'm not a DBA, I'm an AIX admin, so excuse me if there are mistakes. In a client they're trying to install Oracle 11.2.03 (Oracle + SAP Portal on AIX 6.1 TL07). They've executed the prerequisite checks, and they've told me that it is complaining about 2 AIX apars not being installed...

We've also seen that ec column in vmstat is always 99 or 100. I've found a fix (IV01111 - WAITPROC IDLE LOOPING CONSUMES CPU. APPLIES TO AIX 6100-05) that should solve this: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=isg1IV01111 It is included in 6.1 TL5 SP8.

Another thing that we are seeing is that the Entc column in topas is always showing 99.9% or even 100%, even when the cpu is almost idle (96.2% idle). CPU User% Kern% Wait% Idle% Physc Entc ALL 0.3 3.5 0.0 96.2 0.50 99.9 In other servers the Entc column remains low...

Hi, we have some performance issues starting SAP Portal on AIX 6.1 TL5 SP6. It takes more than 10 minutes to start, and there is a jlaunch process with high CPU and PgSp values in topas for more than 10 minutes. It is a Power7 LPAR (0'39 CPU, 1 virtual cpu, 16GB RAM, SMT on). I've also tried...

Thanks a lot, I've done rmsf -vH 64000/0xfa00/0xd and it deleted /dev/disk and /dev/rdisk special files, and after I deleted /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk special files manually.

With ioscan -m lun this is what it shows: # ioscan -m lun ... disk 53 64000/0xfa00/0xd esdisk NO_HW DEVICE offline HP HSV450 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x50001fe15022a2a8.0x4032000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x50001fe15022a2ac.0x4032000000000000...

Thanks, I will try this afternoon.

Hi, I'm not very used to HP-UX, so I don't know if I've done a mistake or not. And sorry for my poor english. We've got a BL860c i2, with HP-UX 11.31. There are several luns (HP EVA) assigned and used, but there was also a temporary lun that is no longer in use. They asked me to deassign and...
