Try to convert the clients from AIX to HP-UX! We've succeeded in that for two customers already :)

AIX is still a PITA, but one gets used to it. Learn smit.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi (again):

Merijn's makes a very good point. AIX's 'smit' [SAM's counterpart] does a very good job logging its actions and results in files called 'smit.script' and 'smit.log.' These are very helpful when you want to see the commandline equalivent -- better than SAM, in my opinion.

Regards!

Hi,

And AIX comes with online JFS installed, not an extra cost item as with HP.

but I have to setup alias for ll and bdf, and still looking for a few other things

I sure miss swinstall.

www.rootvg.net does not cover it all, it would be good to have a place to look for differences and what to do to fix them

and I hate the process of booting from a CD, what an adventurous nightmare that was trying to figure it out with no training and no manuals and the IBM website was not much help either

Hi,

Wow!
I almost feel sheepish after Geoff's answer.
You can only get 10 my friend. ;)
Here's another good cross reference I didn't notice listed.

Hi,

Here are few more.

Check this site for any UNIX flavour.
http://www.introcomp.co.uk/examples/index.html --- UNIX Sysadmin centre - Intronet Computers

And for AIX RS6000 Diagnostic check this
http://www.introcomp.co.uk/other/aix_RS6000_diagnostic.html RS6000 Diagnostic mode

For AIX On-Line Manuals check this

Hi,

a good discussion mailing list for Tivoli Storage Manager of IBM can be found at:

http://search.adsm.org/

Less user friendly than the ITRC forums, but a great source of information.

[Shannon Petry]

No points for this, I just wanted to point out a site that everyone seemed to miss for some sad reason.


www.ugu.com

Unix Guru Universe is a great site, has links for all known unices, lots of info.

I use it to find things when I have no idea what else to do.

Regards,
Shannon

[John Meissner]

Geoff - I think you missed a few links :)

[Geoff Wild]

John,

Hehehehe....yes...I kind of cheated - or just lucky - we have an AIX admin onsite and we have those links posted on our Intranet.


And yes - we do have "running" battles on HP vs IBM...etc...etc...
:)


No points for this reply.


Rgds...Geoff

[John Bolene]

Just found these myself as I have also been thrust into the AIX side kicking and screaming with no training and no manuals.

look in the AIX portion

I have to recommend nmon as I have been searching for something that resembled top on AIX. Why o why was top not included?

[Geoff Wild]

Malay,

Just a friendly reminder to assign points to all those that replied to your post. :)

No points for this reply.

Rgds...Geoff

[Shannon Petry]

Geoff,

No offense intended, but the replies without points were assigned after he gave a magic bunny. There is no way for a user to close a thread.

I view it as a fine diner offering you dinner mints after you paid your bill and left the tip. Would you expect them to say "pay up" afterwards?

[Geoff Wild]

Shannon,

Yes that's true - but you can still assign points after you give out a 10 - and there is more than 1 in this thread - which never closes...


Rgds...Geoff

[Shannon Petry]

Geoff, the thread not closing is not the problem of the person asking the question, but a problem with the forums.

The user did their job, assigned points and said thanks. Hence why I added that I dont want points.

For other users to say "assign points" after the question author did their job is not fair.

I usually find requests for points distastefull anyway, but in this case it was also uncalled for.

Shannon

NO POINTS

[Victor BERRIDGE]

John,
For top, you should get monitor that includes a "top" command almost similar to top...
The last version I know of for aix 4.3.3 is monitor2.1.9
Here is the source for all aix freeware I use:

All the best
Victor

[Geoff Wild]

Shannon - I agree with what you said - except one small point - the author did not say thanks/or give a closing statement...so, myself (and others) assumed he still wanted more answers....
