HACMP LOGS - HACMP.OUT
ALL DOCUMENT ARE PROPERTY OF SHIVAKANT , DO NOT COPY IBM , AIX , HACMP , ARE REGISTERED TRADE MARK OF IBM
HACMP.OUT
This file contains the output of all the events in a cluster the events are located in directory /usr/es/sbin/cluster/events
This file also gives complete command line to perform the task and the output of that task
To start troubleshooting hacmp find messages like EVENT FAILED IN THE hacmp.out file
# cat hacmp.out |grep "EVENT FAILED"
May 6 08:45:47 EVENT FAILED: 1: get_disk_vg_fs ALL Testnode1vg 1
Now We know that there is a failed event on May 6 and the event is get_disk_vg_fs
The error shows that the get_disk_vg_fs failed as it could not mount a file system "cl_activate_fs /sapmnt/X10" which is showed in the log below
cirg:cl_activate_fs[85] mount /sapmnt/X10

TO MOVE A RESOURCE FROM ONE LPAR TO ANOTHER LPAR
Select lpar on which you have to to do DLPAR operation
select tasks or (the arrow besides the lpar)
Select dynamic logical partitioning > resource to move(for example here processor) select move
In the coming window select destination partition (the partition to which we want to move resources)
Select the amount of resource to move
PUT THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO BE MOVED AND SELECT THE DESTINATION PARTITION
TO MOVE MEMORY RESOURCES
select tasks or (the arrow besides the lpar)
Select dynamic logical partitioning > resource to move(for example here memory ) select move
As in the screen above
Now you will be presented the screen below
Write the amount of memory resource to move
Select Destination Lpar and click on ok
TO MOVE I/O RESOURCES
Select the adapter (there are no removable adapter in the screen shot below )
By clicking ok after selecting the adapter you will remove the adapter from the lpar selected
select destination lpar from the option to move the adapter to the destination LPAR
select tasks or (the arrow besides the lpar)

INSTALLING VIO SERVER
IBM VIRTUAL I/O SERVER
The Virtual I/O Server is part of the eServer p5 Advanced Power Virtualization hardware
feature. Virtual I/O Server allows sharing of physical resources between LPARs including virtual
SCSI and virtual networking. This allows more efficient utilization of physical resources through
sharing between LPARs and facilitates server consolidation.
INSTALLATION
You have two options to install the AIX-based VIO Server:
1. Install from CD
2. Install from network via an AIX NIM-Server
Installation method #1 is probably the more frequently used method in a pure Linux
environment as installation method #2 requires the presence of an AIX NIM (Network
Installation Management) server. Both methods differ only in the initial boot step and are then
the same. They both lead to the following installation screen:

After the reboot you are presented with the VIO-Server login prompt. You can't login
as user root as you have to use the special user id padmin. No initial default
password is set. Immediately after login you are forced to set a new password.
[compat]: 3004-610 You are required to change your password.
Please choose a new one.
padmin's New password:
Enter the new password again:
The following file has been updated: .profile
Changes will take affect at next login.
Before you can do anything you have to accept the I/O Server license. This is done with the
license command.
$ lsmap
The I/O Server license must be accepted before running this command.
Only the chlang command may be run before accepting the license.
To view the license, run the license command with the -view option.
If the -lang flag is not specified the license will by displayed in
the current locale (set by the chlang command). If the license is not
available in the language selected, English will be the default.
To accept the license, run the license command with the -accept option.
Locale currently set to: "en_US".
Usage: license [-view] [-accept] [-lang Name]
license [-ls]
View and accept the I/O Server license agreement.
-accept Accept the license agreement.
-lang Specifies the language-territory (locale name) the license
is displayed in.
-ls Lists available locales.
-view Displays the license agreement.
Please enter:
license -accept
Before you start to define and assign resources please make sure you have the latest version and
updates installed before you proceed. Updates and support for the AIX-based Virtual I/O Server
Details beyond the scope of this publications can be found in the following Redbook
Advanced POWER Virtualization on eServer p5 Servers: Introduction and Basic
Once you are logged in as user padmin you find yourself in a restricted Korn shell with only a
limited set of commands. You can see all available commands with the command help. All these
commands are shell aliases to a single SUID-binary called ioscli which is located in the directory
/usr/ios/cli/bin. If you are familiar with AIX you will recognize most commands but most
command line parameters differ from the AIX versions.
Asking help in vio
As there are no man pages available you can see all options for each command separately by
issueing the command help . Here is an example for the command lsmap:
$ help lsmap
Usage: lsmap {-vadapter ServerVirtualAdapter | -plc PhysicalLocationCode |
-all}
[-net] [-fmt delimiter]
Displays the mapping between physical and virtual devices.
-all Displays mapping for all the server virtual adapter
devices.
-vadapter Specifies the server virtual adapter device
by device name.
-plc Specifies the server virtual adapter device
by physical location code.
-net Specifies supplied device is a virtual server
Ethernet adapter.
-fmt Divides output by a user-specified delimiter.
A very important command is oem_setup_env which gives you access to the regular AIX
command line interface. This is provided solely for the installation of OEM device drivers.
4 VIRTUAL SCSI SETUP
To map a LV
• mkvg: creates the volume group, where a new LV will be created using the mklv
command
• lsdev: shows the virtual SCSI server adapters that could be used for mapping with the LV
• mkvdev: maps the virtual SCSI server adapter to the LV
• lsmap -all: shows the mapping information
To map a physical disk
• lsdev: shows the virtual SCSI server adapters that could be used for mapping with a
physical disk
• mkvdev: maps the virtual SCSI server adapter to a physical disk
• lsmap -all: shows the mapping information
Client partition commands
• No commands needed, the Linux kernel is notified immediately
Create new volume group datavg with member disk hdisk1
• mkvg -vg datavg hdisk1
Create new logical volume vdisk0 in volume group
• mklv -lv vdisk0 datavg 10G
Maps the virtual SCSI server adapter to the logical volume
• mkvdev -vdev vdisk0 -vadapter vhost0
Display the mapping information
• lsmap -all
5 VIRTUAL ETHERNET SETUP
To list all virtual and physical adapters use the lsdev -type adapter command.
$ lsdev -type adapter
name status description
ent0 Available 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)
ent1 Available 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)
ent2 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
ide0 Available ATA/IDE Controller Device
sisscsia0 Available PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter
vhost0 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost1 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost2 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost3 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
Choose the virtual Ethernet adapter we want to map to the physical Ethernet adapter.
$ lsdev -virtual
name status description
ent2 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
vhost0 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost1 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost2 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost3 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
The command mkvdev maps a physical adapter to a virtual adapter, creates a layer 2 network
bridge and defines the default virtual adapter with its default VLAN ID. It creates a new
Ethernet interface, e.g., ent3.
Make sure the physical and virtual interfaces are unconfigured (down or detached).
6 SCENARIO A (ONE VIO SERVER)
Create a shared ethernet adapter ent3 with a physical one (ent0) and a virtual one (ent2)
with PVID 1:
$ mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 1
ent3 Available
en3
et3
This has created a new shared ethernet adapter ent3 (you can verify that with the lsdev
command). Now configure the TCP/IP settings for this new shared ethernet adapter (ent3).
Please note that you have to specify the interface (en3) and not the adapter (ent3).
$ mktcpip -hostname op710-1-vio -inetaddr 9.156.175.231 -interface en3 \
-netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway 9.156.175.1 -nsrvaddr 9.64.163.21 \
-nsrvdomain munich.de.ibm.com
7 SCENARIO B (TWO VIO SERVERS)
Create a shared ethernet adapter ent3 with a physical one (ent0) and a virtual one (ent2)
with PVID 1:
mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 1
Configure the TCP/IP settings for the new shared ethernet adapter (ent3):
mktcpip -hostname op710-1-vio -inetaddr 9.156.175.231 -interface en3 \
-netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway 9.156.175.1 -nsrvaddr 9.64.163.21 \
-nsrvdomain munich.de.ibm.com

HOW TO CONFIGURE ISCSI CLIENT ON AIX
VERIFICATION OF DISK
This screen shot shows the output of lspv when we dont have any iscsi disk on the server
The screen show above shows that how a disk is mapped to a target
Now configure the target on aix server
Go to /etc/iscsi directory
and provide the target configuration In this example 192.168.5.202 is the storage and aix-target is the target
# cd /etc/iscsi
# ls
autosecrets targets targetshw
# tail -6 targets
# The target line would look like:
# 10.2.1.106 3260 iqn.2003-01.com.ibm:00.fcd0ab21.shark128 \
# "123ismysecretpassword.fc1b"
#
192.168.5.202 3260 aix-target
#
Now at the Aix server add the ip and change iscsi0 adapter configuration
Added ip as alias to connect to storage
Checked the connectivity
and changed iscsi0 adapter configuration
Run cfgmgr after that
# chdev -l en0 -a alias4=192.168.5.200 -a netmask=255.255.255.0
en0 changed
# ping -c 2 192.168.5.202
PING 192.168.5.202: (192.168.5.202): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.5.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.202: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0 ms
----192.168.5.202 PING Statistics----
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
# chdev -l iscsi0 -a initiator_name=aix-target
iscsi0 changed
# lspv
hdisk0 00c402db281a05c4 None
hdisk1 00c402db1717210e rootvg active
# cfgmgr
Now you can see a new disk from storage
# cfgmgr
# lspv
hdisk2 00c402db175641a3 None
hdisk0 00c402db281a05c4 None

HMC Tips II - Partitions and Profiles
HMC Tips II - Partitions and Profiles
1. To list all machines configured in a hmc
# lssyscfg -r sys
2. To list all lpars(partitions) in a power machine
# lssyscfg -r lpar -m Managed_System
3. To activate/start an LPAR :
# chsysstate -r lpar -m Managed_System -o on -n LPAR_Name -f Profile_ name
4. To deactivate/shutdown an LPAR :
# chsysstate -r lpar -m Managed_System -o shutdown --immed -n LPAR_Name
5. To open the console of a partition :
# mkvterm -m Managed_System -p LPAR_Name
6. To close the console of a partition:
# rmvterm -m Managed_System -p LPAR_Name
7. To list the profile of a partition:
# lssyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System --filter "lpar_names=LPAR_Name,profile_names=Profile_Name"
8. To change the min/desired/maximum memory settings of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,min_mem=512,desired_mem=19456,max_mem=20480"
9. To change the min/desired/maximum processor units of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,min_proc_units=0.2,desired_proc_units=0.5,max_proc_units=2.0"
10. To change the min/desired/maximum virtual processor of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,min_procs=1,desired_procs=2,max_procs=6"
11. To change capped/uncapped setting in a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,sharing_mode=uncap,uncap_weight=128"
Possible values for sharing_mode are cap and uncap.
Possible values for uncap_weight are from 0 to 128.
12. To change the name of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,new_name=New_Profile_Name"
13. To change the name of a partition :
# chsyscfg -r lpar -m Managed_System -i "name=LPAR_Name,new_name=New_LPAR_Name"
14. To change the default profile of a partition :
# chsyscfg -r lpar -m Managed_System -i "name=LPAR_Name,default_profile=Partition_Profile_Name"
15. To set "power off the machine after all partitions are shutdown" for a power machine :
# chsysscfg -r sys -m Managed_System -i "power_off_policy=0"
Possible values are
0 -> Power off after all partitions are shutdown
1 -> Do not power off after all partitions are shutdown
16. To rename a system profile :
# chsyscfg -r sysprof -m Managed_System -i "name=Sys_Prof_Name,new_name=New_Sys_Prof_Name"
17. To add 2 more partition profiles to a system profile :
# chsyscfg -r sysprof -m Managed_System -i "name=,"lpar_names+=partition3,partition4",
"profile_names+=profile3,profile4""

HMC Tips VII - General Terms
HMC Tips VII - General Terms
1. What is the maximum number of servers managed by HMC ?
> Maximum of 48 non-590-595 servers
> Maximum of 32 590/595 servers
2. What is the maximum number of LPARs supported by a HMC ?
> Maximum of 254 LPARs
3. How many HMCs can manage a server at one time ?
> You can have a maximum of 2 HMCs manage a server at one time
4. What are the different types of dynamic operations you can do with CPU, Memory and I/O Adapter on a LPAR ?
> Add
> Remove
> Move
5. How do we connect the HMC to power machines ?
For Power-4 machines, we connect the hmc using serial cables.
But for Power-5 machines, HMC connects to service processors via SSL-encrypted Ethernet, replacing the serial cables.
6. Do we have firewall configured in HMC ?
Yes. Each network card has an integrated firewall.
7. Do we need to configure DHCP in HMC ?
HMC may be a DHCP server for entry and mid-range servers.
But for high-end servers like P595, HMC must be a DHCP server
8. can we have the same HMC to manage P4 and P5 machines ?
POWER5 HMCs cannot manage POWER4 servers, and vice versa.
9. Can we have the existing P4 HMCs upgraded to support P5 machines ?
Yes. We can. This involves a complete overwirte of teh disk and the loss of all previous configuration including user profiles.
10. What to do incase of disk failure in HMC ?
We can restore the HMC using recovery CD.
Then restore the latest Critical consule data backup which will restore the profiles, user ids, passwords, etc..
11. What is the default user id and password for the HMC ?
When the HMC is powered on the first time, login as hscroot and password as 'abc123'.
12. Can we manage a power machine without a HMC ?
Yes. We can run a server in manufacturing default mode, will all resources but no logical partitionings, CoD or Service Focal point,etc..
For entry level server, we can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager.
13. What is the network critetia for dual HMC connection ?
Dual HMCs require two different private networks.
14. What is the default service processor IP address in Power-5 Machines ?
Eth0 - HMC1 - 192.168.2.147 / 255.255.255.0
Eth1 - HMC2 - 192.168.3.147 / 255.255.255.0
15. What is the default user id and password for accessing service processor ?
User id - admin
Password - admin
16. Do we need a HMC for p5 model servers ?
One HMC is mandatory for 590, 595 or 575.
Dual HMC are recommended.
17. Do we need private network for HMc connectivity for p5-595 ?
One private network is mandatory for p5 590,595 or 575.
18. Can we have IVM support multiple servers ?
One IVM allowed per server and it only manages partitions on one server.
19. What does FSP (Flexible Service Processor) has ?
FSP has
a. Operating System
b. UserIds / Passwords
c. Filesystem
d. Networking
e. Firewall
f. Webserver
g. ASMI
h. Firmware
20. What to do if you forgot the admin password for FSP ?
If you do not know the admin password, place a hardware call to get 'celogin'
21. What to do if you forgot the HMC hostname/ipaddress for a long running LPAR ?
You can always get the HMC IPaddress from a LPAR if we have performed "handshake" with the HMC.
Issue the below command to get the HMC IPAddress
# lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer
Resource Persistent Attributes for IBM.ManagementServer
resource 1:
Name = "169.121.54.48"
Hostname = "169.121.54.48"
ManagerType = "HMC"
LocalHostname = "169.121.54.59"
ClusterTM = "9078-160"
ClusterSNum = ""
ActivePeerDomain = ""
NodeNameList = {"SAP-PRodServer"}
22. One HMC should be within 8metres of Managed Server
23. Each FSP Ethernet port should be connected to only one HMC

REPAIRING CORRUPT VG
If there is a hardware failure, and one or 2 disk in the volume group get completely trashed. The vg was reduced by two disks.
1. Use the (undocumented) readvgda command to get the detailed VGDA from one of the disks, e.g. "readvgda /dev/hdiskn". I advise you to do the same on a disk that *didn't* fail and compare (a disk that didn't fail might be a more reliable source). Check the list of PVIDs and make sure they are all
present and accessible by the system (no hardware problems). Save the readvgda output in a file, you will need it if you make a mistake later and want to start over.
2. Among the readvgda output is the layout of each LV on the PVs, from which you can construct LV map files for the mlkv command.
3. You will also need a good copy of the /etc/filesystems file,unless you remember the original LV mount points and filesystem types.
4. When you have all the LV map files, export the volume group and re−create it on the original PVs, with the original PP size:
mkvg −f −y vgdvd −s 1024 hdisk3 hdisk4 ...
5. Re−create each LV using the map files. I assume here that your filesystems were jfs (change accordingly if you had jfs2):
mklv −y loglv02 −m <loglv02_mapfile> −t jfslog vgdvd <numlp>
mklv −y data1 −m <data1_mapfile> −t jfs vgdvd <numlp>
...
6. Restore /etc/filesystems or add the missing stanzas manually. *Do not mount the filesystems yet.*
7. For each filesystem LV, update the LVCB with the log and label information:
chfs −a log=/dev/loglv02 <mountpoint>
chlv −L <mountpoint> data1
8. Run a fsck on each filesystem. This is the critical step – if the command fails because it can't find the superblock, then the LVs were not re−created correctly, stop and check your map files. If the jfslog LV was not re−created correctly, fsck will not be able to replay the log and you will probably lose some data. Consider stopping and double−checking the map files before answering yes to the fsck "fix" questions. Also, if filesystems were active at the time of the crash, fsck might find unrecoverable errors on some inodes or blocks, your only option here is to fix these errors at the risk of losing some inodes (the price for not having a tape backup). If errors were fixed, re−run fsck until there are no errors.
9. When fsck run without errors on each FS, mount the filesystems. If errors were fixed during fsck, check the lost+found directories, they might contain missing files or directories you can salvage.

REPLACING A FAILED PV IN A MIRRORED VOLUME GROUP
INTRODUCTION
The following procedures replace a failed physical volume (PV) within a mirrored volume group. The replacepv command provides a method for replacing a failed PV in most configurations. An alternative procedure is also provided for configurations where the replacepv command cannot be used.
Prerequisites
All logical volumes using the failed PV have valid copies on other available PVs (with the possible exception of a dedicated dump logical volume). If any of the prerequisites listed below cannot be met, see the alternate procedure.
The volume group containing the failed PV is not rootvg.
The replacement PV can be added to the volume group containing the failed PV (this might not be possible depending on the PV size and volume group characteristics, such as MAX PPs per PV).
The replacement PV must be able to be configured into the system at the same time as the failing PV.
The replacement PV's name can differ from the failed PV's name.
The size of the replacement PV must be at least the size of the failed PV.
The volume group containing the failed PV must not be a snapshot volume group or have a snapshot volume group.
PROCEDURE TO REPLACE FAILED DISK
Complete the following steps, assuming that the failed PV is hdisk2 and the replacement PV is hdisk10:
If the replacement PV is not yet installed on the system, perform the steps necessary to install it. To use the configuration manager to define a new PV, run the following command:
cfgmgr
Use the lspv command to determine the name assigned to the PV. For this example, assume that the new PV is named hdisk10.
To replace the failed PV with the one defined in
Step 1, run the following command:
replacepv hdisk2 hdisk10
\When the command runs, hdisk2 is replaced by hdisk10, and hdisk2 is no longer assigned to a volume group.
To undefine the failed PV, run the following command:
rmdev -dl hdisk2
Physically remove the failed disk from the system.
Verify that the procedure was successful by completing the following steps:
To check that all logical volumes are mirrored to the new PV as desired, run the following command:
lslv lvname
Check the COPIES attribute of each logical volume affected by the failed PV to ensure that the desired number of copies now exist. If the number of copies of the logical volume is below the desired number, use the mklvcopy command to create additional copies.
To verify that all logical volume partitions are synchronized and there are no stale partitions, run the following command:
lspv hdisk10
Check the STALE PARTITIONS attribute of the replaced PV to ensure that the count is zero. If there are stale partitions use the syncvg command to synchronize the partitions.
Replacing a failed PV when the configuration does not allow the use of the replacepv command
Assume that the failed physical volume, hdisk0, and its mirror, hdisk1, are part of the yourvg volume group.
To remove mirror copies from the failed PV, run the following command:
unmirrorvg yourvg hdisk0
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, remove hdisk0 from the boot list by running the following command:
Note: If your configuration uses boot devices other than hdisk0 and hdisk1, add them to the command syntax.
bootlist -om normal hdisk1
This step requires that hdisk1 remains a bootable device in rootvg. After completing this step, ensure that hdisk0 does not appear in output.
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, recreate any dedicated dump devices from the failed PV.
If you have a dedicated dump device that was on the failed PV, you can use the mklv command to create a new logical volume on an existing PV. Use the sysdumpdev command to set the new logical volume as the primary dump device.
To undefine the failed PV, run the following command:
Note: Removing the disk device entry will also remove the /dev/ipldevice hard link if the failed PV is the PV used to boot the system.
reducevg yourvg hdisk0
rmdev -dl hdisk0
If the failed PV is the most recently used boot device, recreate the /dev/ipldevice hard link that was removed in Step 4 by running the following command:
ln /dev/rhdisk1 /dev/ipldevice
Note the r prefixed to the PV name.
To verify that your /dev/ipldevice hard link has been recreated, run the following command:
ls /dev/ipldevice
Replace the failed disk.
To define the new PV, run the following command:
cfgmgr
The cfgmgr command assigns a PV name to the replacement PV. The assigned PV name is likely to be the same as the PV name previously assigned to the failed PV. In this example, assume that the device hdisk0 is assigned to the replacement PV.
To add the new PV to the volume group, run the following command:
extendvg yourvg hdisk0
You might encounter the following error message:
0516-050 Not enough descriptor space left in this volume group.
Either try adding a smaller PV or use another volume group.
If you encounter this error and cannot add the PV to the volume group, you can try to mirror logical volumes to another PV that already exists in the volume group or add a smaller PV. If neither option is possible, you can try to bypass this limitation by upgrading the volume group to a Big-type or Scalable-type volume group using the chvg command.
Mirror the volume group.
Note: The mirrorvg command cannot be used if all of the following conditions exist:
The target system is a logical partition (LPAR).
A copy of the boot logical volume (by default, hd5) resides on the failed PV.
The replacement PV's adapter was dynamically configured into the LPAR since the last cold boot.
If all of the above conditions exist, use the mklvcopy command to recreate mirror copies for each logical volume as follows:
Create copies of the boot logical volume to ensure that it is allocated to a contiguous series of physical partitions.
Create copies of the remaining logical volumes, and synchronize the copies using the syncvg command.
Make the disk bootable by shutting down the LPAR and activating it instead of rebooting using the shutdown or reboot commands. This shutdown does not have to be done immediately, but it is necessary for the system to boot from the new PV.
Otherwise, create new copies of logical volumes in the volume group using the new PV with the following command:
Note: The mirrorvg command disables quorum by default. For rootvg, you will want to use the -m option to ensure that the new logical volume copies are mapped to hdisk0 in the same way as the working disk.
mirrorvg yourvg hdisk0
If your configuration holds third copies of some logical volumes, you might need to recreate those copies with the following command:
mklvcopy -k
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, initialize the boot record by running the following command:
bosboot -a
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, update the boot list by running the following command:
Note: If your configuration uses boot devices other than hdisk0 and hdisk1, add them to the command.
bootlist -om normal hdisk0 hdisk1
Verify that the procedure was successful.
To verify that all logical volumes are mirrored to the new PV, run the following command:
lslv lvname
Check the COPIES attribute of each logical volume affected by the failed PV to ensure that the desired number of copies now exist. If the number of copies of the logical volume is below the desired number, use the mklvcopy command to create additional copies.
To verify that all the logical volume partitions are synchronized, check that there are no stale partitions by running the following command:
lspv hdisk0
Check the STALE PARTITIONS attribute of the replaced PV to ensure that the count is zero. If there are stale partitions use the syncvg command to synchronize the partitions.
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, use the following steps to verify other aspects of this procedure:
To verify the boot list, run the following command:
bootlist -om normal
To verify the dump device, run the following command:
sysdumpdev -l
To verify the list of bootable PVs, run the following command:
ipl_varyon -i
To verify the /dev/ipl_device, run the following command:
ls -i /dev/rhdisk1 /dev/ipldevice
Ensure the output of the ls command has the same i-node number for both entries.
This step completes the procedure.

TROUBESHOOTING NFS
Verify that the network connections are good.
Verify that the server is up and running by running the following command at the shell prompt of the client:
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -p server_name
protocols, and port numbers is printed, similar to the following
If the server is up, a list of programs, versions,:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100005 1 udp 1025 mountd
100001 1 udp 1030 rstatd
100001 2 udp 1030 rstatd
100001 3 udp 1030 rstatd
100002 1 udp 1036 rusersd
100002 2 udp 1036 rusersd
100008 1 udp 1040 walld
100012 1 udp 1043 sprayd
100005 1 tcp 694 mountd
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100024 1 udp 713 status
100024 1 tcp 715 status
100021 1 tcp 716 nlockmgr
100021 1 udp 718 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 721 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 723 nlockmgr
100020 1 udp 726 llockmgr
100020 1 tcp 728 llockmgr
100021 2 tcp 731 nlockmgr
If a similar response is not returned, log in to the server at the
server console and check the status of the inetd daemon
lssrc –ls inetd
Verify that the mountd, portmap and nfsd daemons are running on the NFS server by entering the following commands at the client shell prompt :
:
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -u server_name mount
SHIVAKANT Page 8 9/24/2010
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -u server_name portmap
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -u server_name nfs
If the daemons are running at the server, the following responses are returned:
program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100000 version 2 ready and waiting
program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting
The program numbers correspond to the commands, respectively, as shown in the previous example. If a similar response is not returned, log in to the server at the server
console and check the status of the daemons
lssrc –g nfs
Verify that the /etc/exports file on the server lists the name of the file system that the client wants to mount and that the file system is exported. Do this by entering the command:
showmount -e server_name
This command lists all the file systems currently exported by the
server_name.
TROUBLESHOOTING NFS MOUNT ERROR
Check that the directory which is being exported , its child directory is not already exported ( a parent directory cannot be exported if the child is already exported)
Check that both the server and client can ping and can do reverse lookup if DNS is already configured
Run commands
Nslookup client name
Dig client name
These two commands will give you pretty good results
If reverse lookup is not successful add the client host in /etc/hosts file of nfs server and add server host to /etc/hosts file of clients
Echo "ipaddress hostname" >> /etc/hosts
This should solve the nfs mount errors

MOVING A LOGICAL VOLUME FROM ONE VOLUME GROUP TO ANOTHER
ALL DOCUMENT ARE PROPERTY OF SHIVAKANT , DO NOT COPY IBM , AIX , HACMP , ARE REGISTERED TRADE MARK OF IBM
TO MOVE A LOGICAL VOLUME FROM A VOLUME GROUP TO ANOTHER VOLUME GROUP
ACTUALLY MOVING A LOGICAL VOLUME IS A PROCESS TO COPY VOLUME TO ANOTHER VOLUME GROUP AND THEN REMOVE IT FROM THE SOURCE LOCATION
1. CREATE A LOGICAL VOLUME
# mklv -t jfs2 rootvg 1
fslv15
2)CREATE A FILE SYSTEM ON THAT LOGICAL VOLUME
# crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/fslv15 -m /abc
File system created successfully.
130864 kilobytes total disk space.
New File System size is 262144
3)USE CPLV COMMAND TO MOVE THE LOGICAL VOLUME FROM OLD VG TO NEW VG
# cplv -v vijayvg fslv15
cplv: Logical volume fslv15 successfully copied to fslv16 .
4) VERIFY THE MOVEMENT IN NEW VG
# lsvg -l vijayvg
vijayvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv00 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
fslv00 jfs2 120 120 1 open/syncd /wpar-file
fslv05 jfs2 48 48 1 open/syncd /tsmsoftwares
loglv01 jfslog 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv16 jfs2 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv02 jfs2 20 20 1 open/syncd /opt/tivoli
fslv06 jfs2 32 32 1 open/syncd /tsm01
fslv11 jfs2 40 40 1 open/syncd /nimfs
#
IF THE VOLUME COPIED ABOVE ALREADY EXISTS IN THE DESTINATION VOLUME GROUP THEN IT WILL RENAME THE VOLUME GROUP TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE NAME
5)NOW REMOVE LOGICAL VOLUME FROM THE SOURCE
# lsvg -l rootvg |grep fslv15
fslv15 jfs2 1 1 1 open/syncd /abc
# umount /abc
# rmlv fslv15
Warning, all data contained on logical volume fslv15 will be destroyed.
rmlv: Do you wish to continue? y(es) n(o)? y
rmlv: Logical volume fslv15 is removed.

EXAMPLES OF SAR
1 To report system unit activity, enter:
sar
2 To report current tty activity for each 2 seconds for the next 40 seconds, enter: sar -y -r 2 20
3 To watch system unit for 10 minutes and sort data, enter: sar -o temp 60 10
4 To report processor activity for the first two processors, enter: sar -u -P 0,1
This produces output similar to the following:
cpu %usr %sys %wio %idle

6 To see physical processor consumed and entitlement consumed for all processors system-wide, run sar command in a shared processor
logical partition machine, as follows:
sar -P ALL
On a two-logical processor system, this produces output similar to the following (the last line indicates system-wide statistics for all
processors, and the line with cpuid U indicates the system-wide Unused capacity):
cpu %usr %sys %wio %idle physc %entc
0 0 0 0 100 0.02 3.1
1 0 0 0 100 0.00 1.0
U - - 0 96 0.48 96.0
- 0 0 0 100 0.02 4.0

vmstat -I
8 To display all the VMM statistics available, enter:
vmstat -vs
9 To display the large-page section with the alp and flp columns at 8-second intervals, enter:
vmstat -l 8
10 To display the VMM statistics specific to a particular page size (in the example, 4 K), enter:
vmstat -p 4 K
11 To display the VMM statistics for all page sizes that are supported on the system, enter:
vmstat -p ALL
OR
vmstat -p all
12 To display only the VMM statistics for a particular page size (in this example, 4K), enter:
vmstat -P 4K
13 To display only the per-page breakdown of VMM statistics for all supported page sizes, enter:
vmstat -P ALL
OR
vmstat -P all
MPSTAT EXAMPLES

AIX DISK PERFORMANCE MONITORING (DISK MONITORING )
To know if the disks are performing under permitted values
run iostat on disks connected to a adpater
#lsdev -p fscsi0
will show all the disk connected
run iostat on these disks to know their transfer rate
add the transfer rates of all the disk and
compare it with max_xfer_size
To get max_xfer_size
type command
lsattr -El fcs0
If max_xfer_size is lower than the kbs of all the disk collectively disk performance is comprimised
I had created a script for my usage change according to your usage
SCRIPT TO CALCULATE TOTAL DISK TRANSFER
d=0
for x in $(lsdev -p fscsi0|awk '{print $1}')
do
a=$(iostat -d $x |grep hdisk|awk '{print $3}')
d=$(echo "$a + $d"|bc)
done
echo CURRENT TRANSFER RATE IS $d

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2011
SIMPLEST NIM CONFIGURATION
SIMPLEST DOCUMENT TO IMPLEMENT NIM
1. Create a nim server
(Here netname is name of nim server , primary adapter in en0 , caple type is twisted pair, for a rs6000 server and for single processor )
# nimconfig -a netname=testnim -a pif_name=en0 -a cable_type=tp -a platform=rspc -a netboot_kernel=up
0513-071 The nimesis Subsystem has been added.
0513-071 The nimd Subsystem has been added.
0513-059 The nimesis Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 602362.
Test the newly created server
# lsnim –l
master:
class = machines
type = master
max_nimesis_threads = 20
comments = machine which controls the NIM environment
platform = rspc
netboot_kernel = up
if1 = testnim galaxy 000D60DEFDAE
cable_type1 = tp
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state =
Mstate = currently running
serves = boot
serves = nim_script
master_port = 1058
registration_port = 1059
reserved = yes
boot:
class = resources
type = boot
comments = represents the network boot resource
Rstate = ready for use
location = /tftpboot
alloc_count = 0
server = master
reserved = yes
nim_script:
class = resources
type = nim_script
comments = directory containing customization scripts created by NIM
Rstate = ready for use
location = /export/nim/scripts
alloc_count = 0
server = master
reserved = yes
testnim:
class = networks
type = ent
Nstate = ready for use
prev_state = information is missing from this object's definition
net_addr = 193.9.200.0
snm = 255.255.255.0
2. Define lpp source from cdrom
(Here source is cd0 , location is where we are storing lpp source and name is testlpp)
# nim -o define -t lpp_source -a server=master -a source=/dev/cd0 -a location=/export/lpp_source testlpp
Preparing to copy install images (this will take several minutes)...
Check the newly created lpp source
testlpp:
class = resources
type = lpp_source
arch = power
Rstate = ready for use
prev_state = unavailable for use
location = /export/lpp_source
simages = yes
alloc_count = 0
server = master
3. Define a spot from the lpp source
(Here source is the lpp we defined earlier , and location is where we are keeping our spot , name of the spot is spottest)
nim -o define -t spot -a server=master -a source=testlpp -a location=/export/spot spottest
Test the newly created spot
spottest:
class = resources
type = spot
plat_defined = chrp
arch = power
plat_defined = rs6k
plat_defined = rspc
bos_license = yes
Rstate = ready for use
prev_state = verification is being performed
location = /export/spot/spottest/usr
version = 5
release = 1
mod = 0
oslevel_r = 5100-01
alloc_count = 0
server = master
Rstate_result = success
mk_netboot = yes
mk_netboot = yes
4. Define machine
(Here platform is rs6000, xyz is the name of the host for which machine is created , and the name of resource is testpci)
# nim -o define -t standalone -a platform=rspc -a if1="find_net xyz 0" -a cable_type1=tp -a netboot_kernel=up testpci
Test the newly created machine
# lsnim -l testpci
testpci:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = shell
platform = rspc
netboot_kernel = up
if1 = testnim pci 0
cable_type1 = tp
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = currently running
5. Allocate the RESOURCES
newly created lpp and spot resources to the newly cerated machine
## nim -o allocate -a spot=spottest -a lpp_source=testlpp testpci
6. Initiate bos installation on the machine
nim -o bos_inst -a accept_licenses=yes testpci

HACMP LOGS - HACMP.OUT
ALL DOCUMENT ARE PROPERTY OF SHIVAKANT , DO NOT COPY IBM , AIX , HACMP , ARE REGISTERED TRADE MARK OF IBM
HACMP.OUT
This file contains the output of all the events in a cluster the events are located in directory /usr/es/sbin/cluster/events
This file also gives complete command line to perform the task and the output of that task
To start troubleshooting hacmp find messages like EVENT FAILED IN THE hacmp.out file
# cat hacmp.out |grep "EVENT FAILED"
May 6 08:45:47 EVENT FAILED: 1: get_disk_vg_fs ALL Testnode1vg 1
Now We know that there is a failed event on May 6 and the event is get_disk_vg_fs
The error shows that the get_disk_vg_fs failed as it could not mount a file system "cl_activate_fs /sapmnt/X10" which is showed in the log below
cirg:cl_activate_fs[85] mount /sapmnt/X10

TO MOVE A RESOURCE FROM ONE LPAR TO ANOTHER LPAR
Select lpar on which you have to to do DLPAR operation
select tasks or (the arrow besides the lpar)
Select dynamic logical partitioning > resource to move(for example here processor) select move
In the coming window select destination partition (the partition to which we want to move resources)
Select the amount of resource to move
PUT THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO BE MOVED AND SELECT THE DESTINATION PARTITION
TO MOVE MEMORY RESOURCES
select tasks or (the arrow besides the lpar)
Select dynamic logical partitioning > resource to move(for example here memory ) select move
As in the screen above
Now you will be presented the screen below
Write the amount of memory resource to move
Select Destination Lpar and click on ok
TO MOVE I/O RESOURCES
Select the adapter (there are no removable adapter in the screen shot below )
By clicking ok after selecting the adapter you will remove the adapter from the lpar selected
select destination lpar from the option to move the adapter to the destination LPAR
select tasks or (the arrow besides the lpar)
Select dynamic logical partitioning > resource to move(for example here adapter ) select move
As in the screen above

feature. Virtual I/O Server allows sharing of physical resources between LPARs including virtual
SCSI and virtual networking. This allows more efficient utilization of physical resources through
sharing between LPARs and facilitates server consolidation.
INSTALLATION
You have two options to install the AIX-based VIO Server:
1. Install from CD
2. Install from network via an AIX NIM-Server
Installation method #1 is probably the more frequently used method in a pure Linux
environment as installation method #2 requires the presence of an AIX NIM (Network
Installation Management) server. Both methods differ only in the initial boot step and are then
the same. They both lead to the following installation screen:

Please choose a new one.
padmin's New password:
Enter the new password again:
The following file has been updated: .profile
Changes will take affect at next login.
Before you can do anything you have to accept the I/O Server license. This is done with the
license command.
$ lsmap
The I/O Server license must be accepted before running this command.
Only the chlang command may be run before accepting the license.
To view the license, run the license command with the -view option.
If the -lang flag is not specified the license will by displayed in
the current locale (set by the chlang command). If the license is not
available in the language selected, English will be the default.
To accept the license, run the license command with the -accept option.
Locale currently set to: "en_US".
Usage: license [-view] [-accept] [-lang Name]
license [-ls]
View and accept the I/O Server license agreement.
-accept Accept the license agreement.
-lang Specifies the language-territory (locale name) the license
is displayed in.
-ls Lists available locales.
-view Displays the license agreement.
Please enter:
license -accept
Before you start to define and assign resources please make sure you have the latest version and
updates installed before you proceed. Updates and support for the AIX-based Virtual I/O Server
Details beyond the scope of this publications can be found in the following Redbook
Advanced POWER Virtualization on eServer p5 Servers: Introduction and Basic
Once you are logged in as user padmin you find yourself in a restricted Korn shell with only a
limited set of commands. You can see all available commands with the command help. All these
commands are shell aliases to a single SUID-binary called ioscli which is located in the directory
/usr/ios/cli/bin. If you are familiar with AIX you will recognize most commands but most
command line parameters differ from the AIX versions.
Asking help in vio
As there are no man pages available you can see all options for each command separately by
issueing the command help . Here is an example for the command lsmap:
$ help lsmap
Usage: lsmap {-vadapter ServerVirtualAdapter | -plc PhysicalLocationCode |
-all}
[-net] [-fmt delimiter]
Displays the mapping between physical and virtual devices.
-all Displays mapping for all the server virtual adapter
devices.
-vadapter Specifies the server virtual adapter device
by device name.
-plc Specifies the server virtual adapter device
by physical location code.
-net Specifies supplied device is a virtual server
Ethernet adapter.
-fmt Divides output by a user-specified delimiter.
A very important command is oem_setup_env which gives you access to the regular AIX
command line interface. This is provided solely for the installation of OEM device drivers.
4 VIRTUAL SCSI SETUP
To map a LV
• mkvg: creates the volume group, where a new LV will be created using the mklv
command
• lsdev: shows the virtual SCSI server adapters that could be used for mapping with the LV
• mkvdev: maps the virtual SCSI server adapter to the LV
• lsmap -all: shows the mapping information
To map a physical disk
• lsdev: shows the virtual SCSI server adapters that could be used for mapping with a
physical disk
• mkvdev: maps the virtual SCSI server adapter to a physical disk
• lsmap -all: shows the mapping information
Client partition commands
• No commands needed, the Linux kernel is notified immediately
Create new volume group datavg with member disk hdisk1
• mkvg -vg datavg hdisk1
Create new logical volume vdisk0 in volume group
• mklv -lv vdisk0 datavg 10G
Maps the virtual SCSI server adapter to the logical volume
• mkvdev -vdev vdisk0 -vadapter vhost0
Display the mapping information
• lsmap -all
5 VIRTUAL ETHERNET SETUP
To list all virtual and physical adapters use the lsdev -type adapter command.
$ lsdev -type adapter
name status description
ent0 Available 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)
ent1 Available 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)
ent2 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
ide0 Available ATA/IDE Controller Device
sisscsia0 Available PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter
vhost0 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost1 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost2 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost3 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
Choose the virtual Ethernet adapter we want to map to the physical Ethernet adapter.
$ lsdev -virtual
name status description
ent2 Available Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
vhost0 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost1 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost2 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vhost3 Available Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
The command mkvdev maps a physical adapter to a virtual adapter, creates a layer 2 network
bridge and defines the default virtual adapter with its default VLAN ID. It creates a new
Ethernet interface, e.g., ent3.
Make sure the physical and virtual interfaces are unconfigured (down or detached).
6 SCENARIO A (ONE VIO SERVER)
Create a shared ethernet adapter ent3 with a physical one (ent0) and a virtual one (ent2)
with PVID 1:
$ mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 1
ent3 Available
en3
et3
This has created a new shared ethernet adapter ent3 (you can verify that with the lsdev
command). Now configure the TCP/IP settings for this new shared ethernet adapter (ent3).
Please note that you have to specify the interface (en3) and not the adapter (ent3).
$ mktcpip -hostname op710-1-vio -inetaddr 9.156.175.231 -interface en3 \
-netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway 9.156.175.1 -nsrvaddr 9.64.163.21 \
-nsrvdomain munich.de.ibm.com
7 SCENARIO B (TWO VIO SERVERS)
Create a shared ethernet adapter ent3 with a physical one (ent0) and a virtual one (ent2)
with PVID 1:
mkvdev -sea ent0 -vadapter ent2 -default ent2 -defaultid 1
Configure the TCP/IP settings for the new shared ethernet adapter (ent3):
mktcpip -hostname op710-1-vio -inetaddr 9.156.175.231 -interface en3 \
-netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway 9.156.175.1 -nsrvaddr 9.64.163.21 \

This screen shot shows the output of lspv when we dont have any iscsi disk on the server
The screen show above shows that how a disk is mapped to a target
Now configure the target on aix server
Go to /etc/iscsi directory
and provide the target configuration In this example 192.168.5.202 is the storage and aix-target is the target
# cd /etc/iscsi
# ls
autosecrets targets targetshw
# tail -6 targets
# The target line would look like:
# 10.2.1.106 3260 iqn.2003-01.com.ibm:00.fcd0ab21.shark128 \
# "123ismysecretpassword.fc1b"
#
192.168.5.202 3260 aix-target
#
Now at the Aix server add the ip and change iscsi0 adapter configuration
Added ip as alias to connect to storage
Checked the connectivity
and changed iscsi0 adapter configuration
Run cfgmgr after that
# chdev -l en0 -a alias4=192.168.5.200 -a netmask=255.255.255.0
en0 changed
# ping -c 2 192.168.5.202
PING 192.168.5.202: (192.168.5.202): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.5.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.202: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0 ms
----192.168.5.202 PING Statistics----
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
# chdev -l iscsi0 -a initiator_name=aix-target
iscsi0 changed
# lspv
hdisk0 00c402db281a05c4 None
hdisk1 00c402db1717210e rootvg active
# cfgmgr
Now you can see a new disk from storage
# cfgmgr
# lspv
hdisk2 00c402db175641a3 None
hdisk0 00c402db281a05c4 None
hdisk1 00c402db1717210e rootvg active

HMC Tips II - Partitions and Profiles
HMC Tips II - Partitions and Profiles
1. To list all machines configured in a hmc
# lssyscfg -r sys
2. To list all lpars(partitions) in a power machine
# lssyscfg -r lpar -m Managed_System
3. To activate/start an LPAR :
# chsysstate -r lpar -m Managed_System -o on -n LPAR_Name -f Profile_ name
4. To deactivate/shutdown an LPAR :
# chsysstate -r lpar -m Managed_System -o shutdown --immed -n LPAR_Name
5. To open the console of a partition :
# mkvterm -m Managed_System -p LPAR_Name
6. To close the console of a partition:
# rmvterm -m Managed_System -p LPAR_Name
7. To list the profile of a partition:
# lssyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System --filter "lpar_names=LPAR_Name,profile_names=Profile_Name"
8. To change the min/desired/maximum memory settings of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,min_mem=512,desired_mem=19456,max_mem=20480"
9. To change the min/desired/maximum processor units of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,min_proc_units=0.2,desired_proc_units=0.5,max_proc_units=2.0"
10. To change the min/desired/maximum virtual processor of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,min_procs=1,desired_procs=2,max_procs=6"
11. To change capped/uncapped setting in a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,sharing_mode=uncap,uncap_weight=128"
Possible values for sharing_mode are cap and uncap.
Possible values for uncap_weight are from 0 to 128.
12. To change the name of a partition profile :
# chsyscfg -r prof -m Managed_System -i "name=Profile_Name,lpar_name=LPAR_Name,new_name=New_Profile_Name"
13. To change the name of a partition :
# chsyscfg -r lpar -m Managed_System -i "name=LPAR_Name,new_name=New_LPAR_Name"
14. To change the default profile of a partition :
# chsyscfg -r lpar -m Managed_System -i "name=LPAR_Name,default_profile=Partition_Profile_Name"
15. To set "power off the machine after all partitions are shutdown" for a power machine :
# chsysscfg -r sys -m Managed_System -i "power_off_policy=0"
Possible values are
0 -> Power off after all partitions are shutdown
1 -> Do not power off after all partitions are shutdown
16. To rename a system profile :
# chsyscfg -r sysprof -m Managed_System -i "name=Sys_Prof_Name,new_name=New_Sys_Prof_Name"
17. To add 2 more partition profiles to a system profile :
# chsyscfg -r sysprof -m Managed_System -i "name=,"lpar_names+=partition3,partition4",
"profile_names+=profile3,profile4""

HMC Tips VII - General Terms
HMC Tips VII - General Terms
1. What is the maximum number of servers managed by HMC ?
> Maximum of 48 non-590-595 servers
> Maximum of 32 590/595 servers
2. What is the maximum number of LPARs supported by a HMC ?
> Maximum of 254 LPARs
3. How many HMCs can manage a server at one time ?
> You can have a maximum of 2 HMCs manage a server at one time
4. What are the different types of dynamic operations you can do with CPU, Memory and I/O Adapter on a LPAR ?
> Add
> Remove
> Move
5. How do we connect the HMC to power machines ?
For Power-4 machines, we connect the hmc using serial cables.
But for Power-5 machines, HMC connects to service processors via SSL-encrypted Ethernet, replacing the serial cables.
6. Do we have firewall configured in HMC ?
Yes. Each network card has an integrated firewall.
7. Do we need to configure DHCP in HMC ?
HMC may be a DHCP server for entry and mid-range servers.
But for high-end servers like P595, HMC must be a DHCP server
8. can we have the same HMC to manage P4 and P5 machines ?
POWER5 HMCs cannot manage POWER4 servers, and vice versa.
9. Can we have the existing P4 HMCs upgraded to support P5 machines ?
Yes. We can. This involves a complete overwirte of teh disk and the loss of all previous configuration including user profiles.
10. What to do incase of disk failure in HMC ?
We can restore the HMC using recovery CD.
Then restore the latest Critical consule data backup which will restore the profiles, user ids, passwords, etc..
11. What is the default user id and password for the HMC ?
When the HMC is powered on the first time, login as hscroot and password as 'abc123'.
12. Can we manage a power machine without a HMC ?
Yes. We can run a server in manufacturing default mode, will all resources but no logical partitionings, CoD or Service Focal point,etc..
For entry level server, we can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager.
13. What is the network critetia for dual HMC connection ?
Dual HMCs require two different private networks.
14. What is the default service processor IP address in Power-5 Machines ?
Eth0 - HMC1 - 192.168.2.147 / 255.255.255.0
Eth1 - HMC2 - 192.168.3.147 / 255.255.255.0
15. What is the default user id and password for accessing service processor ?
User id - admin
Password - admin
16. Do we need a HMC for p5 model servers ?
One HMC is mandatory for 590, 595 or 575.
Dual HMC are recommended.
17. Do we need private network for HMc connectivity for p5-595 ?
One private network is mandatory for p5 590,595 or 575.
18. Can we have IVM support multiple servers ?
One IVM allowed per server and it only manages partitions on one server.
19. What does FSP (Flexible Service Processor) has ?
FSP has
a. Operating System
b. UserIds / Passwords
c. Filesystem
d. Networking
e. Firewall
f. Webserver
g. ASMI
h. Firmware
20. What to do if you forgot the admin password for FSP ?
If you do not know the admin password, place a hardware call to get 'celogin'
21. What to do if you forgot the HMC hostname/ipaddress for a long running LPAR ?
You can always get the HMC IPaddress from a LPAR if we have performed "handshake" with the HMC.
Issue the below command to get the HMC IPAddress
# lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer
Resource Persistent Attributes for IBM.ManagementServer
resource 1:
Name = "169.121.54.48"
Hostname = "169.121.54.48"
ManagerType = "HMC"
LocalHostname = "169.121.54.59"
ClusterTM = "9078-160"
ClusterSNum = ""
ActivePeerDomain = ""
NodeNameList = {"SAP-PRodServer"}
22. One HMC should be within 8metres of Managed Server
23. Each FSP Ethernet port should be connected to only one HMC

REPAIRING CORRUPT VG
If there is a hardware failure, and one or 2 disk in the volume group get completely trashed. The vg was reduced by two disks.
1. Use the (undocumented) readvgda command to get the detailed VGDA from one of the disks, e.g. "readvgda /dev/hdiskn". I advise you to do the same on a disk that *didn't* fail and compare (a disk that didn't fail might be a more reliable source). Check the list of PVIDs and make sure they are all
present and accessible by the system (no hardware problems). Save the readvgda output in a file, you will need it if you make a mistake later and want to start over.
2. Among the readvgda output is the layout of each LV on the PVs, from which you can construct LV map files for the mlkv command.
3. You will also need a good copy of the /etc/filesystems file,unless you remember the original LV mount points and filesystem types.
4. When you have all the LV map files, export the volume group and re−create it on the original PVs, with the original PP size:
mkvg −f −y vgdvd −s 1024 hdisk3 hdisk4 ...
5. Re−create each LV using the map files. I assume here that your filesystems were jfs (change accordingly if you had jfs2):
mklv −y loglv02 −m <loglv02_mapfile> −t jfslog vgdvd <numlp>
mklv −y data1 −m <data1_mapfile> −t jfs vgdvd <numlp>
...
6. Restore /etc/filesystems or add the missing stanzas manually. *Do not mount the filesystems yet.*
7. For each filesystem LV, update the LVCB with the log and label information:
chfs −a log=/dev/loglv02 <mountpoint>
chlv −L <mountpoint> data1
8. Run a fsck on each filesystem. This is the critical step – if the command fails because it can't find the superblock, then the LVs were not re−created correctly, stop and check your map files. If the jfslog LV was not re−created correctly, fsck will not be able to replay the log and you will probably lose some data. Consider stopping and double−checking the map files before answering yes to the fsck "fix" questions. Also, if filesystems were active at the time of the crash, fsck might find unrecoverable errors on some inodes or blocks, your only option here is to fix these errors at the risk of losing some inodes (the price for not having a tape backup). If errors were fixed, re−run fsck until there are no errors.
9. When fsck run without errors on each FS, mount the filesystems. If errors were fixed during fsck, check the lost+found directories, they might contain missing files or directories you can salvage.

REPLACING A FAILED PV IN A MIRRORED VOLUME GROUP
INTRODUCTION
The following procedures replace a failed physical volume (PV) within a mirrored volume group. The replacepv command provides a method for replacing a failed PV in most configurations. An alternative procedure is also provided for configurations where the replacepv command cannot be used.
Prerequisites
All logical volumes using the failed PV have valid copies on other available PVs (with the possible exception of a dedicated dump logical volume). If any of the prerequisites listed below cannot be met, see the alternate procedure.
The volume group containing the failed PV is not rootvg.
The replacement PV can be added to the volume group containing the failed PV (this might not be possible depending on the PV size and volume group characteristics, such as MAX PPs per PV).
The replacement PV must be able to be configured into the system at the same time as the failing PV.
The replacement PV's name can differ from the failed PV's name.
The size of the replacement PV must be at least the size of the failed PV.
The volume group containing the failed PV must not be a snapshot volume group or have a snapshot volume group.
PROCEDURE TO REPLACE FAILED DISK
Complete the following steps, assuming that the failed PV is hdisk2 and the replacement PV is hdisk10:
If the replacement PV is not yet installed on the system, perform the steps necessary to install it. To use the configuration manager to define a new PV, run the following command:
cfgmgr
Use the lspv command to determine the name assigned to the PV. For this example, assume that the new PV is named hdisk10.
To replace the failed PV with the one defined in
Step 1, run the following command:
replacepv hdisk2 hdisk10
\When the command runs, hdisk2 is replaced by hdisk10, and hdisk2 is no longer assigned to a volume group.
To undefine the failed PV, run the following command:
rmdev -dl hdisk2
Physically remove the failed disk from the system.
Verify that the procedure was successful by completing the following steps:
To check that all logical volumes are mirrored to the new PV as desired, run the following command:
lslv lvname
Check the COPIES attribute of each logical volume affected by the failed PV to ensure that the desired number of copies now exist. If the number of copies of the logical volume is below the desired number, use the mklvcopy command to create additional copies.
To verify that all logical volume partitions are synchronized and there are no stale partitions, run the following command:
lspv hdisk10
Check the STALE PARTITIONS attribute of the replaced PV to ensure that the count is zero. If there are stale partitions use the syncvg command to synchronize the partitions.
Replacing a failed PV when the configuration does not allow the use of the replacepv command
Assume that the failed physical volume, hdisk0, and its mirror, hdisk1, are part of the yourvg volume group.
To remove mirror copies from the failed PV, run the following command:
unmirrorvg yourvg hdisk0
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, remove hdisk0 from the boot list by running the following command:
Note: If your configuration uses boot devices other than hdisk0 and hdisk1, add them to the command syntax.
bootlist -om normal hdisk1
This step requires that hdisk1 remains a bootable device in rootvg. After completing this step, ensure that hdisk0 does not appear in output.
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, recreate any dedicated dump devices from the failed PV.
If you have a dedicated dump device that was on the failed PV, you can use the mklv command to create a new logical volume on an existing PV. Use the sysdumpdev command to set the new logical volume as the primary dump device.
To undefine the failed PV, run the following command:
Note: Removing the disk device entry will also remove the /dev/ipldevice hard link if the failed PV is the PV used to boot the system.
reducevg yourvg hdisk0
rmdev -dl hdisk0
If the failed PV is the most recently used boot device, recreate the /dev/ipldevice hard link that was removed in Step 4 by running the following command:
ln /dev/rhdisk1 /dev/ipldevice
Note the r prefixed to the PV name.
To verify that your /dev/ipldevice hard link has been recreated, run the following command:
ls /dev/ipldevice
Replace the failed disk.
To define the new PV, run the following command:
cfgmgr
The cfgmgr command assigns a PV name to the replacement PV. The assigned PV name is likely to be the same as the PV name previously assigned to the failed PV. In this example, assume that the device hdisk0 is assigned to the replacement PV.
To add the new PV to the volume group, run the following command:
extendvg yourvg hdisk0
You might encounter the following error message:
0516-050 Not enough descriptor space left in this volume group.
Either try adding a smaller PV or use another volume group.
If you encounter this error and cannot add the PV to the volume group, you can try to mirror logical volumes to another PV that already exists in the volume group or add a smaller PV. If neither option is possible, you can try to bypass this limitation by upgrading the volume group to a Big-type or Scalable-type volume group using the chvg command.
Mirror the volume group.
Note: The mirrorvg command cannot be used if all of the following conditions exist:
The target system is a logical partition (LPAR).
A copy of the boot logical volume (by default, hd5) resides on the failed PV.
The replacement PV's adapter was dynamically configured into the LPAR since the last cold boot.
If all of the above conditions exist, use the mklvcopy command to recreate mirror copies for each logical volume as follows:
Create copies of the boot logical volume to ensure that it is allocated to a contiguous series of physical partitions.
Create copies of the remaining logical volumes, and synchronize the copies using the syncvg command.
Make the disk bootable by shutting down the LPAR and activating it instead of rebooting using the shutdown or reboot commands. This shutdown does not have to be done immediately, but it is necessary for the system to boot from the new PV.
Otherwise, create new copies of logical volumes in the volume group using the new PV with the following command:
Note: The mirrorvg command disables quorum by default. For rootvg, you will want to use the -m option to ensure that the new logical volume copies are mapped to hdisk0 in the same way as the working disk.
mirrorvg yourvg hdisk0
If your configuration holds third copies of some logical volumes, you might need to recreate those copies with the following command:
mklvcopy -k
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, initialize the boot record by running the following command:
bosboot -a
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, update the boot list by running the following command:
Note: If your configuration uses boot devices other than hdisk0 and hdisk1, add them to the command.
bootlist -om normal hdisk0 hdisk1
Verify that the procedure was successful.
To verify that all logical volumes are mirrored to the new PV, run the following command:
lslv lvname
Check the COPIES attribute of each logical volume affected by the failed PV to ensure that the desired number of copies now exist. If the number of copies of the logical volume is below the desired number, use the mklvcopy command to create additional copies.
To verify that all the logical volume partitions are synchronized, check that there are no stale partitions by running the following command:
lspv hdisk0
Check the STALE PARTITIONS attribute of the replaced PV to ensure that the count is zero. If there are stale partitions use the syncvg command to synchronize the partitions.
If the PV failure occurred on rootvg, use the following steps to verify other aspects of this procedure:
To verify the boot list, run the following command:
bootlist -om normal
To verify the dump device, run the following command:
sysdumpdev -l
To verify the list of bootable PVs, run the following command:
ipl_varyon -i
To verify the /dev/ipl_device, run the following command:
ls -i /dev/rhdisk1 /dev/ipldevice
Ensure the output of the ls command has the same i-node number for both entries.
This step completes the procedure.

TROUBESHOOTING NFS
Verify that the network connections are good.
Verify that the server is up and running by running the following command at the shell prompt of the client:
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -p server_name
protocols, and port numbers is printed, similar to the following
If the server is up, a list of programs, versions,:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100005 1 udp 1025 mountd
100001 1 udp 1030 rstatd
100001 2 udp 1030 rstatd
100001 3 udp 1030 rstatd
100002 1 udp 1036 rusersd
100002 2 udp 1036 rusersd
100008 1 udp 1040 walld
100012 1 udp 1043 sprayd
100005 1 tcp 694 mountd
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100024 1 udp 713 status
100024 1 tcp 715 status
100021 1 tcp 716 nlockmgr
100021 1 udp 718 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 721 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 723 nlockmgr
100020 1 udp 726 llockmgr
100020 1 tcp 728 llockmgr
100021 2 tcp 731 nlockmgr
If a similar response is not returned, log in to the server at the
server console and check the status of the inetd daemon
lssrc –ls inetd
Verify that the mountd, portmap and nfsd daemons are running on the NFS server by entering the following commands at the client shell prompt :
:
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -u server_name mount
SHIVAKANT Page 8 9/24/2010
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -u server_name portmap
/usr/bin/rpcinfo -u server_name nfs
If the daemons are running at the server, the following responses are returned:
program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting
program 100000 version 2 ready and waiting
program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting
The program numbers correspond to the commands, respectively, as shown in the previous example. If a similar response is not returned, log in to the server at the server
console and check the status of the daemons
lssrc –g nfs
Verify that the /etc/exports file on the server lists the name of the file system that the client wants to mount and that the file system is exported. Do this by entering the command:
showmount -e server_name
This command lists all the file systems currently exported by the
server_name.
TROUBLESHOOTING NFS MOUNT ERROR
Check that the directory which is being exported , its child directory is not already exported ( a parent directory cannot be exported if the child is already exported)
Check that both the server and client can ping and can do reverse lookup if DNS is already configured
Run commands
Nslookup client name
Dig client name
These two commands will give you pretty good results
If reverse lookup is not successful add the client host in /etc/hosts file of nfs server and add server host to /etc/hosts file of clients
Echo "ipaddress hostname" >> /etc/hosts
This should solve the nfs mount errors

MOVING A LOGICAL VOLUME FROM ONE VOLUME GROUP TO ANOTHER
ALL DOCUMENT ARE PROPERTY OF SHIVAKANT , DO NOT COPY IBM , AIX , HACMP , ARE REGISTERED TRADE MARK OF IBM
TO MOVE A LOGICAL VOLUME FROM A VOLUME GROUP TO ANOTHER VOLUME GROUP
ACTUALLY MOVING A LOGICAL VOLUME IS A PROCESS TO COPY VOLUME TO ANOTHER VOLUME GROUP AND THEN REMOVE IT FROM THE SOURCE LOCATION
1. CREATE A LOGICAL VOLUME
# mklv -t jfs2 rootvg 1
fslv15
2)CREATE A FILE SYSTEM ON THAT LOGICAL VOLUME
# crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/fslv15 -m /abc
File system created successfully.
130864 kilobytes total disk space.
New File System size is 262144
3)USE CPLV COMMAND TO MOVE THE LOGICAL VOLUME FROM OLD VG TO NEW VG
# cplv -v vijayvg fslv15
cplv: Logical volume fslv15 successfully copied to fslv16 .
4) VERIFY THE MOVEMENT IN NEW VG
# lsvg -l vijayvg
vijayvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv00 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
fslv00 jfs2 120 120 1 open/syncd /wpar-file
fslv05 jfs2 48 48 1 open/syncd /tsmsoftwares
loglv01 jfslog 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv16 jfs2 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv02 jfs2 20 20 1 open/syncd /opt/tivoli
fslv06 jfs2 32 32 1 open/syncd /tsm01
fslv11 jfs2 40 40 1 open/syncd /nimfs
#
IF THE VOLUME COPIED ABOVE ALREADY EXISTS IN THE DESTINATION VOLUME GROUP THEN IT WILL RENAME THE VOLUME GROUP TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE NAME
5)NOW REMOVE LOGICAL VOLUME FROM THE SOURCE
# lsvg -l rootvg |grep fslv15
fslv15 jfs2 1 1 1 open/syncd /abc
# umount /abc
# rmlv fslv15
Warning, all data contained on logical volume fslv15 will be destroyed.
rmlv: Do you wish to continue? y(es) n(o)? y
rmlv: Logical volume fslv15 is removed.

EXAMPLES OF SAR
1 To report system unit activity, enter:
sar
2 To report current tty activity for each 2 seconds for the next 40 seconds, enter: sar -y -r 2 20
3 To watch system unit for 10 minutes and sort data, enter: sar -o temp 60 10
4 To report processor activity for the first two processors, enter: sar -u -P 0,1
This produces output similar to the following:

6 To see physical processor consumed and entitlement consumed for all processors system-wide, run sar command in a shared processor
logical partition machine, as follows:
sar -P ALL
On a two-logical processor system, this produces output similar to the following (the last line indicates system-wide statistics for all
processors, and the line with cpuid U indicates the system-wide Unused capacity):
cpu %usr %sys %wio %idle physc %entc
0 0 0 0 100 0.02 3.1
1 0 0 0 100 0.00 1.0
U - - 0 96 0.48 96.0
- 0 0 0 100 0.02 4.0

vmstat -I
8 To display all the VMM statistics available, enter:
vmstat -vs
9 To display the large-page section with the alp and flp columns at 8-second intervals, enter:
vmstat -l 8
10 To display the VMM statistics specific to a particular page size (in the example, 4 K), enter:
vmstat -p 4 K
11 To display the VMM statistics for all page sizes that are supported on the system, enter:
vmstat -p ALL
OR
vmstat -p all
12 To display only the VMM statistics for a particular page size (in this example, 4K), enter:
vmstat -P 4K
13 To display only the per-page breakdown of VMM statistics for all supported page sizes, enter:
vmstat -P ALL
OR
vmstat -P all
MPSTAT EXAMPLES
1 To see the default set of utilization metrics, type:
mpstat 1 1
2 To see the default set of utilization metrics in wide display mode, type:

AIX DISK PERFORMANCE MONITORING (DISK MONITORING )
To know if the disks are performing under permitted values
run iostat on disks connected to a adpater
#lsdev -p fscsi0
will show all the disk connected
run iostat on these disks to know their transfer rate
add the transfer rates of all the disk and
compare it with max_xfer_size
To get max_xfer_size
type command
lsattr -El fcs0
If max_xfer_size is lower than the kbs of all the disk collectively disk performance is comprimised
I had created a script for my usage change according to your usage
SCRIPT TO CALCULATE TOTAL DISK TRANSFER
d=0
for x in $(lsdev -p fscsi0|awk '{print $1}')
do
a=$(iostat -d $x |grep hdisk|awk '{print $3}')
d=$(echo "$a + $d"|bc)
done
echo CURRENT TRANSFER RATE IS $d

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2011
SIMPLEST NIM CONFIGURATION
SIMPLEST DOCUMENT TO IMPLEMENT NIM
1. Create a nim server
(Here netname is name of nim server , primary adapter in en0 , caple type is twisted pair, for a rs6000 server and for single processor )
# nimconfig -a netname=testnim -a pif_name=en0 -a cable_type=tp -a platform=rspc -a netboot_kernel=up
0513-071 The nimesis Subsystem has been added.
0513-071 The nimd Subsystem has been added.
0513-059 The nimesis Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 602362.
Test the newly created server
# lsnim –l
master:
class = machines
type = master
max_nimesis_threads = 20
comments = machine which controls the NIM environment
platform = rspc
netboot_kernel = up
if1 = testnim galaxy 000D60DEFDAE
cable_type1 = tp
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state =
Mstate = currently running
serves = boot
serves = nim_script
master_port = 1058
registration_port = 1059
reserved = yes
boot:
class = resources
type = boot
comments = represents the network boot resource
Rstate = ready for use
location = /tftpboot
alloc_count = 0
server = master
reserved = yes
nim_script:
class = resources
type = nim_script
comments = directory containing customization scripts created by NIM
Rstate = ready for use
location = /export/nim/scripts
alloc_count = 0
server = master
reserved = yes
testnim:
class = networks
type = ent
Nstate = ready for use
prev_state = information is missing from this object's definition
net_addr = 193.9.200.0
snm = 255.255.255.0
2. Define lpp source from cdrom
(Here source is cd0 , location is where we are storing lpp source and name is testlpp)
# nim -o define -t lpp_source -a server=master -a source=/dev/cd0 -a location=/export/lpp_source testlpp
Preparing to copy install images (this will take several minutes)...
Check the newly created lpp source
testlpp:
class = resources
type = lpp_source
arch = power
Rstate = ready for use
prev_state = unavailable for use
location = /export/lpp_source
simages = yes
alloc_count = 0
server = master
3. Define a spot from the lpp source
(Here source is the lpp we defined earlier , and location is where we are keeping our spot , name of the spot is spottest)
nim -o define -t spot -a server=master -a source=testlpp -a location=/export/spot spottest
Test the newly created spot
spottest:
class = resources
type = spot
plat_defined = chrp
arch = power
plat_defined = rs6k
plat_defined = rspc
bos_license = yes
Rstate = ready for use
prev_state = verification is being performed
location = /export/spot/spottest/usr
version = 5
release = 1
mod = 0
oslevel_r = 5100-01
alloc_count = 0
server = master
Rstate_result = success
mk_netboot = yes
mk_netboot = yes
4. Define machine
(Here platform is rs6000, xyz is the name of the host for which machine is created , and the name of resource is testpci)
# nim -o define -t standalone -a platform=rspc -a if1="find_net xyz 0" -a cable_type1=tp -a netboot_kernel=up testpci
Test the newly created machine
# lsnim -l testpci
testpci:
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = shell
platform = rspc
netboot_kernel = up
if1 = testnim pci 0
cable_type1 = tp
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
Mstate = currently running
5. Allocate the RESOURCES
newly created lpp and spot resources to the newly cerated machine
## nim -o allocate -a spot=spottest -a lpp_source=testlpp testpci
6. Initiate bos installation on the machine
nim -o bos_inst -a accept_licenses=yes testpci
