The behaviour of the 'man' command in AIX 6.1 is different than in 5.3 (or previous versions). On AIX 5.3 after the last lines of a man-page was shown the 'man' command quits and a the output of the man-page was still shown in your terminal session. But on 6.1 all man output disappears after the last lines of the man-page. Is it possible to change this behaviour?
u can set the ip in the SEA adapter , when configuring SEA adapter specify the same VLAN id between two VIOS , and give more priority to active server , u need one more virtual ether adapter to check the control channel ..
If you are looking for employment as an AIX administrator in a modern POWER environment you should at least be able to answer questions 1 and 3 without any doubts.
The answer to #1 is that it is a micropartition and it is using 4x it allocated, better known as entitled, capacity. The answer to question #3 is 1 physical processor has two logical CPU if SMT is enabled.
The answer to question #2 requires some knowledge of PowerHA/HACMP. If a heartbeat failed for a few seconds it is probably an adapter failure and the cluster topology monitoring will generate an event to swap adapters. The easiest starting point is hacmp.out and/or cluster.log
My suggestion is that you attend some education classes. Many IBM classes are offered online. You could also try renting a WPAR from http://wpar4you.com - no idea what the cost is. It is a new program being started by an old friend of mine. If you use it, and it helps you - let me, better us, know about your experiences.
Hello, we are planning the urgent update of our firmware. Currently EM320_083 (pretty old) Planned EM350_071 (latest)
My Questions: (1) Is EM350_071 (latest) fine or should we better use the recommended EM350_049?
(2) We heard that we have to go in TWO steps. Can anybody confirm this? Or is the "01EM350_071_038.html" from the firmware-download true? There I found only this limitations: "Upgrading from EM320_031 to EM350_xxx If your current level of firmware is EM320_031 you must install any higher level of EM320 before upgrading your firmware to this level.
Upgrading from EM310_xxx to EM350_yyy If your current level of firmware is EM310_xxx, you must install EM320_040 or higher before upgrading your firmware to this level."
(3) HMC is running 7.3.5 with 2 Fixes. All lpars are running AIX 6.1 TL5. We are going to update the microcode of the devices too. Anything else we should think about?
Unfortunately the FLRT could not help me. Maybe you can ... Thanks for reading. Best regards!
There is a lot that could be said on that topic. Instructions are included with manual downloads.
The easiest way to determine all the microcode you need is to use the MDS site (Microcode Discovery Service) at http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/mds/.
I did a small write up on using MDS as part of a PowerCare Performance Optimization Assessment I do (for IBM Lab Services). Try looking at http://www.rootvg.net/content/view/410/88/

I am planning to do a single VIO configuration on a POWER6 server which has come with 4 port IVE card. I have to implement one production Lpar with two dedicated ethernet ports , but keep flexibility in mind to end up with an infra which can allow more test/dev lpars on same server. For this purpose , i am end up with two LHEA ports only.
My question is that if i create an etherchannel on these two ports and assign this etherchannel to VIO server, Can i configure SEA using this physical adapter ( for use with future client Lpars ) as well as can i put Ip address of VIO on same physical adapter?
To more clarify , let say physical LHEA ports on VIO are ent0 and ent1. Let assume i create etherchannel ent2 and then SEA "ent3" using ent2 as physical adapter. Now on which adapter should i put VIOS IP address ? ent2 or ent3 ?
