There are several manuals that will help with this.

IBM AIX Version 3.2 for RISC System/6000 Installation Guide - SC23-2341-03

IBM AIX Version 3.2 for RISC System/600 Upgrade Utilities Guide for upgrading
AIX Version 3.1.x to Version 3.2 - SC23-2441 - WOW WHAT A NAME!!

Upgrading to AIX 3.2, The Inside Story - GG24-3814 - How do you like that name!

Hope that helps plus experiences you will get from other folks.

I also would be interested in peoples experiences in upgrading, especially
using the upgrade tools.  Either post them or send them to 
mrmiller@austin.vnet.ibm.com. I periodically have to teach this material
and I was involved in the evolution of the upgrade tools.

Hope all that helps!

A solution to my remote printing (and access) under 3.2
has been found thanks to the IBM hotline.  There is a bug in 3.2
and it is necessary to use dotted decimal internet numbers
in hosts.equiv and hosts.lpd to get remote access to work,
even if nameserving seems to work OK.
It is not clear if this is always the case or only on systems
configured certain ways.  Hope this is of some help.

Yes the tape device driver does detect this. It returns a
TAPE_ENDOFTAPE_DETECT in the device pointer flags when it reaches the end
of the tape. If not all the bytes are transfered it will give you the
residual and it is up to the application to retry those bytes.

What types of primary and secondary groups have you set up for
your users?

We are looking at phase 1 migration of 2-3000 users with an
eventual 8,000 or more to AIX on the 3090 and RS/6000s.
I would like groups for undergrad, graduate and faculty.
Groups by College and School within the University may also be
necessary to simplify usage reporting by these units.

How have you sysadmins with thousands of users set up your groups?
I have been warned that over 500 users in a group will break getgrent
on AIX/370.

Also, how has your user community received the setup?  To little?
To much?  Just right?

Either libX11.a is not being found, or it doesn't contain shr4.o.

dump -H xclock and see what the library path is.  It is the string
next to INDEX 0 of the Import File Strings list.  libX11.a must be in
one of those libraries.

If you find it, use ar t to find the contents of libX11.a and see is
shr4.o is inside it.

Are you sure you're not trying to run an AIX3.2 X application on
AIX3.1?  Because AIX3.2 uses X11R4, which is not availabel on AIX3.1.

Hmm.... just emacs /usr/lpp/info/bin/info_gr and replace on a byte by byte

Locus Computing (the people who brought you DOS/Merge and many other

for the PS/2 and S/370.  I work for LCC, but not for the support

Have you ever tried making your VG larger than 2G?  Yes, the size of the 
filesystem is limited to 2G, but I do not believe that this applies to LVs
or VGs.  The following are some interesting definitions from the lvm.h
header file.

The first define is the maximum for the system.

#define LVM_MAXVGS      255     /* maximum number of volume groups allowed */

I believe these next defines are limits per VG.

#define LVM_MAXLVS      256     /* maximum number of logical volumes allowed */
#define LVM_MAXPVS      32      /* maximum number of physical volumes
allowed */
#define LVM_MAXLPS      65535   /* max number of logical partitions allowed */
#define LVM_MAXPPS      1016    /* max number of physical partitions allowed */
#define LVM_MINPPSIZ    20      /* minimum value for pp size is 2**20 */
#define LVM_MAXPPSIZ    28      /* maximum value for pp size is 2**28 */

With the maximum physical partition size being 256M and the max number of 
physical partitions being 1016, it looks to me like a VG should be able to
go up to around 256G, assuming that you can find 32 8G drives.  I suppose that
this is possible if disk arrays appear as a single physical drive to the
system.

	I'm more than a little confused, here.  Using AIX 3.1.5, when I write

AIX, or is there some particular option or system call I need to make in

Organization: veeble Hannover, W-Germany

I am currently porting a network kernel extension from AIX 3.1 to 3.2. Besides
switching to BSD 4.4 style sockets they have also changed the interface to some
IBM specific network kernel services. I am using the add_input_type() function
to register for a particular packet type. From the blinking 888 I have got I
could see that they have changed the parameters of this function heavily, but
in the AIX 3.2 info system (on CD-ROM) they still have the 3.1 parameters. I
have been looking into the assembly code a bit (yeechz) and I have found that
the first parameter which used to be the packet type now is a CPU priority used
for i_disable(). After fixing that I do not get any 888 any more, but still no
packets arrive on my input queues.

Does anybody have any clues how the add_input_type function is really declared?

 Hi. I'm running AIX 3.1 on an RS6000.

 I'm faced with the apparantly daunting task of debugging a configuration
program (cfgxxx) for a pseudo-device driver. I think I have good Config_Rules,
PdDv, and CuDv ODM entries, and when I run <cfgmgr> from the root prompt my
devices in /dev come alive just fine, but at boot time things go awry with no
indication of what is failing. (By awry I mean that some or all of my devices
don't get activated). (I *have* done the <bosboot -a>).

 I use a phase=2 Config-Rule with a <lsdev> command, seq=0, and expect that my
cfg program is getting run but just committing some mode-dependant sin, but I'm
totally baulked at finding out what it might be.

 I have ordered TFM but who knows when it'll get here. In the meantime, can
anyone suggest one or both of (a) what I might be doing wrong and/or even more
importantly (b) some method of getting trace, log, error, etc information out
of the boot-time configmgr process? The marvelous wonderful info database seems
to be woefully uninformed about these sorts of things.

 Please send E-mail as I don't normally read this group.../Leigh

If this is the case, please have an APAR opened and mention my name.
I have code that will fix it and if you can get this APAR assigned to

John, I sent your post off to our config designer and am posting his response.

The 00-00-0S and 00-00-0S-00 are perfectly OK.  The 0S indicates the integrated
SCSI controller.  The bootinfo -s failure is puzzling to me since it simply
translates into an IOCINFO ioctl to the driver to get the disk size.  The
driver in turn requests the disk's size via a SCSI command (read capacity).
Maybe the drive is failing the read capacity command.

It may also be a good idea to know what kind of disk the system thinks is
attached.  The following command returns the disk type:

       lsdev -HC -F "name type"

Someone mentioned this to me the other day, it worked under 3.1.3.  Oh
well, it wasn't very good anyway.

You need a copy of the MIT Xterm program.  If you don't want to build
the entire release just to get an xterm program that works, I have
a version available for anonymous ftp from vela.acs.oakland.edu in
the directory pub/editors.  The libs are statically bound in so you
don't need the R4 release to run it.

I am in the process of configuring a template sendmail.cf for the
RS/6000s in our local subnetwork.  We're running AIX 3.1.5 with 
IBM Sendmail AIX 3.1/UCB 5.61/IBM-4.03.  

Unfortunately, although I have defined the FQDN and the classes for 
the parts of the hostname, sendmail does not recognize mail that 
arrives with an un-fully qualified name.  Mail addressed to 
user@machine or user@machine.domain.nwu.edu is delivered normally.

The stock sendmail.cf indicates that mail will be delivered locally
if the hostname matches any of the aliases in /etc/hosts or those
entered explicitly in sendmail.cf.  However, I have found this not 
to be the case. 

Any pointers?  Thanks for your help.
