Sometime during AIX migration/alt_clone or HMC upgrade, it can happen that RMC ID get lost or duplicated, the the rsct process is unable to re stabilize the connection. You can reset the key and restart that service as follows: Reset RMC unique ID: # /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct # /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -z # /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -A Then you can check the rmc status: # /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcdomainstatus -s ctrmc

SCSSYSTEMID (G) Specifies a number that identifies the computer. This parameter is not dynamic. SCSSYSTEMID is the low-order 32 bits of the 48-bit system identification number. If the computer is in an OpenVMS Cluster, specify a value that is unique within the cluster. Do not use zero as the value. If the computer is running DECnet for OpenVMS, calculate the value from the DECnet address using the following formula: SCSSYSTEMID = ((DECnet area number) \* 1024) + (DECnet node number) ...

There is a known problem with mounting ISO images on the AIX platform. To workaround the problem, complete the following instructions: Obtain the size of the image, then identify the nearest multiple of 128 MB that will provide enough space for the image. For example, the image of CD-ROM is approximately 650/700 MB, so use 768 MB as an image size. Make a logical volume of this size. Ensure that there is enough space on the physical volume. For example, hdisk0. ...

I bought promo pack of 5 Aladdin eToken PASS units, the tokens comes with serial number in this format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX activated for free on the website of the manufacturer only one time of course, then used token purchased from ebay usually are unusable. The activation consists in a zip containing two ldif format dat files, you can extract the token key parsing the text from “importAlpine.dat” file: sccAuthenticatorId: (means token serial number) sccKey= (means token key) ...

When AIX will not release /dev/cd0 device (after umount any associted filesystems), and you get busy device error on dlpar operations, use this command to kill all processes that take busy resource: # fuser -k -x -u -c /dev/cd0 Usually in pSeries hardware configuration is connected to a scsi controller by scsi-to-ide/sas/sata or other terrible solution bridge. To made all this operation faster you can identify pci parent adapter and remove recursively all device. ...
