kdb and fscsi attributes
I received the following
question from an AIX administrator in Germany. “ Hi Chris, on your blog, you explain how to find out the active value

decide, if the value of lsattr is active or not ... I wonder if you can find out the values fc_err_recov and

rsync/scp to keep the Prod & DR LPARs in sync and b) using alt_disk_copy
(with the –O flag for a device reset) to clone rootvg to an alternate disk
which is then replicated to DR. These methods may work but are cumbersome to
administer and (in the case of alt_disk_copy) require... [More]
