Hi, Let me spell it out - if that was easy, it would have been in the above comments. The answer is you can't do that. The problem is the LPAR does not care what name is used on the HMC for this server. The Server name can only be used by HMC command and seen on the HMC GUI. ...

The first problem in the /usr/bin/sed: not found. Have you mucked up the shell environment? Try running this as the root user. On my AIX demo42:nag:/home/nag $ whence sed /usr/bin/sed demo42:nag:/home/nag $ echo $PATH /usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/nag/bin:/usr ...

This does not look like a general question but is very specific to your AIX 7.2 virtual machine. I suggest you raise a PMR with AIX Support. ------------------------------ Nigel Griffiths ------------------------------

Well done for spotting that one. Some of the simple bugs are small details but harder to find. The next stage of debugging would be switching on the nextract debug mode and sending me loads of files. The Details ate here https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/nextract-plus-hmc-rest-api- ...

I think you need to reread the VIOS manual page on lspv: on the VIOS (not AIX): man lspv The -free just lists the free disks = not assigned to anything else. SSP = Shared Storage Pool only works with FC SAN LUNs. Cheers, N ------------------------------ Nigel Griffiths ...

1) Read the Microsoft Word document that comes with the nmon Analyser package. It includes some hints and tips for Excel Problems and Internationalization issues like character sets. 2) Use the latest nmon Analyser and latest Excel and then try again. 3) Note: There is no longer support now ...

Marcell Rafael Pinto Thanks for reporting this. Just added nextract_plus_v43.py to Source Forge with the fix. Find it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/nmon/files/ Let me know if that worked. You can also email me at nigelargriffiths@hotmail.com ------------------------------ ...

Tried again but did not install AIX 7.2 TL1 sp2 (stopped at sp1) and installed the "dnf" bundle new version v8. This seemed to have worked. Afraid to try the "dnf upgrade" command and not installing sp2 for now. ------------------------------ Nigel Griffiths ------------------------------

I have exactly the same problems for a freshly installed AIX 7.3 upgraded to 7300-01-01-2246 My virtual machine is on the IBM internal network - ask me if direct access would help. Until this is fixed, my project is stuck. I need to get the GCC C compiler installed to get going. -------- ...

From a quick tour through the document, there is nothing I can see that would change this document on Virtualisation. The Power10 chips are: faster, with stronger threads so SMT=8 have thread 5 to 8 each doing more work, there is MMA, faster memory and NVMe internal drives There ...

Hi Process stats are captured using the getproces64() system call. As previously stated 100% for each CPU in the VM. I see the VM has 64 CPUs to the maximum for a VERY threaded application using all CPUs is 6400% CPU Utilisation stats are captured using the libperfstat functions. As previously ...

Hi, CPU is reported in two ways: 1) CPU statistics for the server or virtual machine - 100% represents all the CPUs in the server or virtual machine. 2) CPU statistics for processes - 100% represents a CPU or something called CPU core. nmon has always reported CPU this way and for good reasons. ...

Hi, nmon uses the AIX getprocs64() system call to extract process stats. The AIX kernel on a 100 times-a-second via the timer interrupt increments counters for each process. Depending on the current mode of the process user mode = running the program, system mode handling a system call and in ...

Simplified Remote Restart has the same re-requisite and Live Partition Mobility. Can you do LPM across the two sites? It requires access to the same networks and the same LUNs. Also, the HMCs would have to be able to "talk". Copies of the LUNs do not qualify - that would make it a DR takeover. ...

Power Systems do not now support a VGA or HDMI screen/monitor. If you have a HMC you can get to the text-based console. For AIX: If you want a graphical interface, install tightvnc-server package from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-downloads-alpha. then use ...

I would run the lsuser command after switching to the non-root user as the user may have had various login scripts run like .profile etc. Then check the difference between env for root and no-root and look for different settings. If that does not help raise an AIX PMR (now called a support case) ...
