Error notify for FC link downHi, Recently a switch failure caused us to look SAN connectivty.
I am trying to add the errnotify object for situation whereby a switch fails or port fails or the FC cable is loose or disconnected. Which error label should I be putting in as errnotify for ODMadd ? I am thinking a disconnecting of the cable to simulate it. Does anybody have thelist of FC errors for most common errors ? Thanks.
regards, Thomas

Monitoring and Analysis of AIX, VMM & I/OHi All I finally got some time to listen to the replay/recording of Monitoring and Analysis of AIX, VMM & I/O and recommend this to anyone and everyone with an AIX instance/interest. Yes there are 3 parts they are large to download and each runs for about an hour, but this is really good performance information. These and other recordings hosted by the AIX Virtual User Group make great resources available when you have time. Cheers Chris |

POWER7+ Model 760It's great to see the new low-end POWER7+ models announced, and the new Model 760 in particular. But one thing I don't understand in this new Model 760: Why introduce Capacity On Demand upgrades for cores but not memory ? CoD can be a great thing where I can turn on (and pay for) additional machine capacity when I need it, rather than pay for it all up-front. But in all other POWER Systems with COD features, both cores and memory are available with COD. Additional memory is almost always needed when cores are added to a machine, especially in these days of highly virtualised machine environments. I don't know whether the decision to do this was a technical one, or a marketing/sales driven reason...
