HP-UX AIX
1.bdf
2.mount
3.strings /etc/lvmtab
4.cat /etc/fstab
5.swapinfo
6.lanscan
7.ioscan full o/p
8.ll /dev/*/group ( list of group files)
9.netstat -nr
10.netstat -in

Regards,

Hi

I have the opossite problem: AIX experience and have to build a new HP-UX based SAP landscape from scratch. I have found the following link very usefull

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246767.html

HP-UX AIX
1.bdf

You can use df command the same as HP-UX. You can also use lsfs command

2.mount

Same command: mount

3.strings /etc/lvmtab

HP-UX lvmtab gives you link between VG and corresponding Physical Volumes. In AIX such information is in the ODM (Object Data Manager)so you need to query at this one by using commands like:

lsvg
lslv
lquerypv
lquerylv
4.cat /etc/fstab

AIX equivalent is /etc/filesystems

5.swapinfo

AIX equivalent is command: lsps -a

6.lanscan

You can query the ODM DB to list devices:

lsdev -Cc adapter
netstat -in

7.ioscan full o/p

AIX equivalent is command:

cfgmgr -v
8.ll /dev/*/group ( list of group files)

Just the very same. This is standard UNIX.

9.netstat -nr

The very same use to list network routes.

10.netstat -in

The very same use to list enabled ethernet devices configured.

Hope this helps

For point number 8 there is no equivalent file for /dev/*/group in AIX

1. df (see the man page for options), there is a df in HP-UX too, but nobody uses it
2. mount, but the options are quite different... again see man page and doc
3. no need to do this in AIX. The logical volume commands can handle this: lsvg, lslv, lspv etc
4. better use lsfs, chfs, mkfs etc. than modifying /etc/filesystems directly. LVCB and ODM will be updated accordingly.
5. lsps
6. lsdev, lsattr -El <device:name>, lscfg -vl <device_name>
7. cfgmgr (see man page for -v, -i...)
8. There are no group files in AIX, but you may decide to have control over the major VG number using the -V switch with importvg, mkvg etc.
9. same in AIX, but routes are saved in the ODM, so don't set routes with "route add..."!
10. same in AIX, and again, take a look into ODM/smitty. Plumbing works different and sometimes the interface is "invisible". See lsdev, chdev etc.

In general: Use commands to change the configuration. Start with smitty and get an idea by pressing F6 just before command execution!
Do NOT edit in config files when there is a command for doing so. You'll learn later when you can do it anyway :-)

Some concepts are quite different in AIX, so you should try to get a class for experienced admins...
