		<description><![CDATA[Using RPC programming is one of the most powerful and efficient ways to
            ensure communication between client and server entities. It forms the basis
            for almost any application running on distributed computing environments. This
            article deals with the basic flow of events between an RPC client and server
            and later deals with runtime handling of these events. The different routines
            that are dealt in this article are categorized appropriately and described
            based on their functionality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IBM Systems Director V6.1.2 is a tool that aids in the management of various devices such as servers, switches, and storage subsystems. This article addresses the nuances of managing the Storage Subsystem using the IBM Systems Director. IBM Systems Director uses the concept of a proxy provider that acts like an intermediate agent between the IBM Systems Director and Storage Subsystems. For DS3000 and DS4000 series Storage Subsystems, IBM Systems Director uses the LSI Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S) provider.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Resolving problems unmounting partitions]]></title> 
		<description><![CDATA[To cleanly shut down or hot swap storage hardware on a UNIX
  or UNIX-like system, you must be able to unmount any file system that
  uses storage on that device. However, you can&apos;t unmount a file system
  if files or directories in that file system are in use. The lsof and
  fuser commands can help you identify and terminate the processes
  that are using files on or executing from the storage devices that
  your system is using. Using these commands simplifies the
  traditional detective work associated with finding the processes
  that are preventing you from unmounting storage devices, decreasing
  frustration, and helping you proceed with critical system
  administration tasks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A typical customer environment is heterogeneous and includes AIX, Windows,
        and Linux, which can 
be servers or clients. In many situations, an AIX Kerberos client needs to interact with
multiple Kerberos realms hosted on a Windows or AIX Kerberos 
server to handle the requested services. This article explains the configuration details
required to set the AIX Kerberos client to interact with 
multiple realms hosted on Windows Kerberos servers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To efficiently achieve uniform mounting in the presence of multiple,
            simultaneous NFS version exports, you need a generic NFS mount utility. Learn
            how a generic NFS mount utility
            can help reduce handling multiple NFS versions and simplify the management of 
            those versions. The article 
            describes the concept of the generic NFS mount, outlines the advantages and
            applications of the system, and gives some overall design
            details.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To understand what happens inside a  processor when an application 
		is executed, processor architects designed a set of special registers to 
		count the events taking place when processors are executing instructions. 
		These registers, called the Performance Monitor Counter, provide interesting information
		about the processor, such as how many I-cache misses 
		take place, how many instructions are completed, and more. Counter Analyzer 
		is one plugin of the Visual Performance Analyzer, an Eclipse-based performance 
		analysis tool. It can analyze raw events, metrics, and CPI breakdown model,
		and help you better understand these events.  
		This article introduces the Performance Monitor Counter and its related tools briefly,
		and then shows 
		you how to use these tools and the Counter Analyzer together, using the Caesar 
		cipher tool as example.]]></description>
