Subject: 1.200: Some info about tape backups
From: Craig Anderson-
Subject: 1.201: How do I do remote backup?
There seems to be several ways of doing this. The first approach is a
one-liner to allow tar to reference another machine's device. The
second is more complete but uses a similar approach. The latest
addition to this section claims to be able to support mksysb on a
remote machine. Thanks to all the contibutors.
tar -b1 -cf - . | rsh REMOTEHOST "dd ibs=512 obs=1024 of=/dev/TAPEDEVICE"
[Ed.: The usave.sh script has been moved to section 8.06. I've verified
this script works fine. However, it may be slow for large filesystems
since it creates a temp file of filenames in /tmp.]
There are also several commercial solutions. One is IBM's SYSBACK/6000
product. See Question 1.209 for more information.
Open Microsystems sells a product called DistribuTAPE which supports
mksysb to a remote tape drive under AIX 3.2, 4.1 and 4.2. DistribuTAPE
supports remote tape drives by placing a pseudo tape driver on the
client system, and a server daemon on the server. More information at
Subject: 1.202: How do I backup a multi-disk volume group?
From: pack@acd.ucar.edu (Daniel Packman)
[ Ed.: I have not verified this procedure. I would actually recommend
NOT to have one volume group span multiple disks unless you really
need such big logical volumes. ]
1. If you have a set of three or more disks in a volume group
(typically 3 for 5xx machines with three internal drives;
with only two, the procedures outlined here have to be modified
to ignore the fact that you don't have a quorum in the volume group)
2. If one drive has failed (usually only one fails at a time :-) )
It is possible to go through a service boot (the volume group is called
rootvg and one of the 2 good disks on it is called hdisk0):
importvg -y rootvg hdisk0
varyonvg -f -n -m1 rootvg
These commands will work, but give error messages. If you wish to mount
a user filesystem, say /u on logical volume /dev/lv00, then
mount -f /dev/lv00 /v
will work only if jfslog, the journaled file system log device, is not
on the damaged disk. If it is, you must (and can in any case) mount the
filesystem read-only:
mount -f -r /dev/lv00 /v
This crucial and rather obvious point baffled several level 3 support
personnel at Austin as well as myself for almost a week. Once the file
system(s) of interest are available, they can be saved to tape for
restoration later. Of course, one can expect only about two thirds of a
filesystem to be recoverable if it spans all 3 physical disks. One
other point to remember is that the standard boot procedure from floppy
includes the restore command but does not include the backup command.
*****************************************************************************
* If you do not have other RS6000 machines at your site it is imperative *
* that you either build a bootable tape which includes either restore or *
* tar or cpio (a bootable floppy set will not have enough space) or at the *
* very least copy onto a spare floppy backup, cpio, or tar. The floppy *
* should be created with backup -ivq so that its contents can be read into *
* the memory resident system after booting. *
*****************************************************************************
All is not lost if tar, cpio or backup are available on an undamaged
disk that can be mounted. Since tar and cpio are in /bin, they may both
very well be unavailable.
It is a very good idea for those who have tape devices to build a
bootable tape with their desired extra commands in it. Follow the
instructions from IBM but add your desired commands to the following
three files:
/usr/lpp/bosinst/tape2
/usr/lpp/bosinst/diskette/boot2
/usr/lpp/bosinst/diskette/inslist
If you have anything other than a minimum memory configuration, you
should be able to add many commands.
Subject: 1.203: How do I put multiple backups on a single 8mm tape?
From: kerm@mcnc.org (Cary E. Burnette)
Subject: 1.204: How can I make an exact duplicate of a tape over the network?;
Subject: 1.205: What is tape block size of 0?
From: benson@odi.com (Benson I. Margulies)
Tape devices are generally split into two categories: fixed block and
variable block. 1/4" tape is the fixed block, and 8mm is variable.
On a fixed block size device, the kernel always sends data to the device
in suitable block size lumps, and varying the size passed to write(2)
(e.g., via the bs option to dd) gives the kernel more data to stream.
On a variable block size device, the kernel writes to the device
whatever passed to it. On an 8mm, it had better be a multiple of 1024
to get efficient tape usage.
AIX has the World's Only Variable Block Size 1/4" tape drive. If you
use SMIT to set the block size to a nonzero value, AIX treats the device
as fixed block size, whether it is or not. By default, 8mm drives are
set to the same size as 1/4", 512 bytes. This is wasteful, but
otherwise mksysb and installp would fail.
If you set the block size to 0, the device is treated as variable block
size, and the size passed to write becomes the physical block size.
Then if you use a sensible block size to dd, all should be wonderful.
Subject: 1.206: Resetting a hung tape drive
From: Craig_Anderson@kcbbs.gen.nz (Craig Anderson)
A process accesses the tape drive. The process stops, exits, or whatever,
but still hold on to the drive. When this happens, the process cannot be
killed by any signal and the tape drive cannot be used by any other
process until the machine is rebooted.
The following should help:
RESET:
AIX, like most UNIX systems has no reset function for tape drives. You
can however send a Bus Device Reset (a standard SCSI message) to the
tape drive using the following piece of code. If the tape drive does
not respond to the BDR, then a SCSI Bus Reset will be sent (and this
will reset every device on the SCSI Bus). SCSI Bus resets are rather
extreme so you should refrain from using this program unnecessarily.
But there are times (like after you've inserted a jammed/old/bad tape in
an 8mm drive), when there's no other way to reset the device other than
to shutdown and reboot (obviously you can power down and up an external
drive to reset it - and this would be the better choice).
This is actually documented in info, but can be hard to find and
there's no complete program.
/* taperst: resets the tape drive by sending a BDR to the drive. */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/scsi.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)

Subject: 1.208: How do I read a 5Gbyte tape on a 2Gbyte drive?
Posted by: bobmet@clam.com (Robert Metcalf).
Subject: 1.209: What can Sysback do for me?
From: johnsont@austin.ibm.com (Tony Johnson)
Sysback provides the flexibility of restoring onto the same system in
the exact same manner, or onto a completely different system with
differnet disk configuration, platform type, kernel, etc, while
reporting any inconsistencies and allowing you to adjust to fit. For
instance, you will get warnings if a particular volume group cannot be
created because the original disks to not exist, or that mirroring
cannot be accomplished because there is no longer enough disk space
because the disks are smaller. You can then select the disks for each
volume group, reduce or add space to filesystems and LVs, exclude
entire VGs or filesystems, etc. You can even add and delete mirrors,
stripe or un-stripe logical volumes, etc.
In addition, all of the Sysback functions can be performed across the
network, including network boot and network install, and you can
perform striped backups across multipel tape drives, use sequential
tape autoloaders, and perform unattended multi-volume backups with
cron.
ON AIX 3.2, mksysb does not retain paging space config, disk LV
placement, mirroring, etc.
On AIX 4.1, it does these on an EXACT same configuration, but does not
allow any flexibility, and still does not retain non-rootvg volume
groups (although you can now use additional commands to backupa nd
restore these). mksysb also does not allow you to clone onto
different platforms (i.e. rspc -> rs6k -> rs6ksmp).
Subject: 1.210: How can I get my HP 4mm DAT to work?
For HP25470/80A DDS:
MRS disabled: Set switches 3,6,7,8=0 and 1,2,4,5=1
MRS enabled: Set switches 3,6,7=0 and 1,2,4,5,8=1
Subject: 1.211: How do I copy DAT tapes?
Subject: 1.212: How do I speed up backups to DLT tapes?
DLT tapes need high data rates to stay in streaming mode. To achieve
higher data rates, use a variable length block size by setting the fixed
length block size to zero. Also use a buffer size of about 64KB for
backup (128 blocks for tar).

Subject: 1.302: Which simms do RS6000's use?
This answer is under construction... I'm trying to collect details
about compatable simms.
RS/6000 220,230 USE 2 pair 70ns PS/2 style simms

Subject: 1.303: What is kproc?
kproc (always PID 514 on AIX 3 and PID 516 on AIX 4) is the kernel's
idle process.
Subject: 1.304: How do I create a RAM disk in AIX?
From: Jeff Wang <hjiwa@nor.chevron.com>
You can't create a RAM disk in AIX. The closest related functionality
the operating system gives you is the RAM disk buffer. Read 1.300
sub-section 3.
[Editor's notice: as of 4.3.3 you CAN. See 1.914 ]
Subject: 1.305: How much RAM (real memory) does my machine have?
From: Michael Abel/resnova
<Michael_Abel/resnova%RESNOVAD@notesgw.compuserve.com>
As root: bootinfo -r
As any user: lsattr -E -l sys0 -a realmem
lsdev -C -c memory
shows all memory adapters. On MCA systems one may add up the values
displayed for each memory card in order to sum up to the amount of
total memory. On PCI systems only one item (mem0) is
displayed. Additional information may be displayed with
lsattr -E -lmem0
These commands were tested on various IBM systems running AIX relases
3.2.5 and 4.1.4

Subject: 1.400: How do I make an informative prompt in the shell?
In the Korn Shell (ksh), the PS1 variable is expanded each time it is
printed, so you can use:
$ export myhost=`hostname`
$ PS1='$LOGNAME@$myhost $PWD \$ '
to get, e.g.
bengsig@ieibm1 /u/bengsig $
In the C-shell, use:
% set myhost=`hostname`
% alias cd 'chdir \!* > /dev/null; set prompt="$LOGNAME@$myhost $cwd % "'
% cd
to get, e.g.
bengsig@dkunix9 /u/bengsig/aixfaq %
There is no easy solution in the Bourne Shell. Use the Korn Shell instead.

Subject: 1.405: How can I add new man pages to the system?
From: horst@faui63.informatik.uni-erlangen.de (Horst Luehrsen)
Put the man pages in /usr/man, e.g. /usr/man/man1/tcsh.1 for the tcsh
man page. Under AIX 3.1.10, /usr/lib/makewhatis can be used to update
the makewhatis-database /usr/man/whatis so apropos and whatis know about
the added manpages. /usr/lib/makewhatis should be available on all 3.2
versions.
For AIX 4.x, you can store the man pages in the /usr/share/man hierarchy.
/usr/lib/makewhatis is still there.
Subject: 1.406: Why can't I read man pages? Where is nroff?
N.
Subject: 1.407: Why is my environment only loaded once?
The .profile file is only loaded once (for your login shell) subsequent
shells should be initialized by setting ENV=$HOME/.kshrc (for ksh).
Bash users can use $HOME/.bash_profile for the login shell environment
and $HOME/.bashrc.
Subject: 1.408: Where is the 'nawk' command on my AIX system?
From: Jeff Wang <hjiwa@nor.chevron.com>
The /bin/nawk that exists on many UNIX flavors is a superset of the
'awk' command, revised by the same original authors to include added
functionality. All the extra options normally associated with 'nawk'
on other UNIXes have been incorporated into the AIX version of 'awk';
the AIX 'awk' InfoExplorer or man pages include nawk-specific features
such as the "-v" command line option and atan2(), rand(), srand(),
match(), sub(), gsub(), system(), close(), getline functions.
If your AIX version is missing /bin/nawk (as are most AIX 3.x
versions), the simplest way to get around this and maintain script
portability between UNIX platforms is to make a /bin/nawk link to
/bin/awk (as root, of course). If you do not have root privilege or
do not want to create a /bin/nawk link, to make the script work on
different UNIXes, you may have to test `uname` first and set all
'nawk' references on AIX runs to /bin/awk. If your script is to only
run on AIX systems, you can just change all references of 'nawk' to
'awk' and everything should still work okay...but check the AIX awk
script on test data prior to making actual runs.
[Editor's note: AIX 4.x already contains a link from /usr/bin/nawk
to /usr/bin/awk.]

1.409: How do I copy InfoExplorer (manpages and more) to my hard drive?
From: David Alexander <unilink@online.rednet.co.uk>
[Editor's note: While this is documented in one of the AIX manuals
and covered in /usr/lpp/bos/bsdadm (AIX 3 only), it comes up often
enough I thought I would include it here.]
Not all the Info databases are required, so do not copy them all unless the
customer specifically requests them, or has asked for the software they
refer to. These instructions assume you have enough space on /usr.

Subject: 1.500 Which release of X11 do I have?
AIX 4.x includes X11 R5 and Motif 1.2.
On AIX 3, Run 'lslpp -h X11rte.obj'.
If your output has a line similar to:
01.02.0000.0000 COMPLETE COMMIT 03/04/93 02:05:11 root
you have X11 R4. If your output has a line similar to:
U491068 01.02.0003.0000 COMPLETE COMMIT 07/28/93 12:50:42 root
you have X11 R5. Some people also call these AIXwindows 1.2.0 and
1.2.3. 'lslpp -h X11rte.motif1.2.obj' should tell you if you are
running Motif 1.2.
From: Jan Just Keijser <KeijserJJ@logica.com>
AIX 4.1 and AIX 4.2 come with X11R5 and Motif 1.2.4
AIX 4.3.1 (and perhaps 4.3.0) comes with X11R6.1 and Motif 2.1
Some executables which run fine using the X11R5 libraries may not run
when using the X11R6.1 libraries; you can specify which X11 libraries to
use by setting
LIBPATH=/usr/lpp/X11/lib/R5:/usr/lib:...
for X11R5 and
LIBPATH=/usr/lpp/X11/lib/R6:/usr/lib:...
for X11R6.1; by default,
/usr/lib/libX11.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R6/libX11.a
and also for the other libraries on AIX 4.3.1.
On most of the AIX 4.1.x and 4.2.1 boxes I have seen the default is
/usr/lib/libX11.a -> /usr/lpp/X11/lib/R4/libX11.a
ie the default libraries are the X11R4 libraries and _NOT_ the R5
libraries; this may also be due to the setup at my site.

1.503: How can I look at PostScript files? Why is "dpsexec" so lousy?
From: Marc Pawliger <marc@sti.com>
showps comes with the 1.2.3 (X11R5) version of the X11rte.ext.obj LPP.
Very nice PS file previewer from Adobe. Replaces xpsview which came
with pre-1.2.3 Installed as /usr/lpp/DPS/showps/showps
From: VRBASS@ATLVMIC1 (Vance R. Bass)
You can look at PostScript files using either "xpreview" (in the
optionally installable text formatting services) or you can get
Ghostscript and Ghostview from a comp.sources.x server and build it
yourself.
>From the "xpreview" man page:
The xpreview command is an AIXwindows 1.2- and Motif 1.1-based
application that displays output from the troff command on an AIXwindows
display. The troff command output file must be prepared for any one of
the devX100, devX100K or devpsc devices. The xpreview command also
displays PostScript language files that begin with %!.
"dpsexec" is NOT intended to be a full-service document browser, but
rather a simple DPS code debugger. If you insist on using it, you can
edit your PS code to remove the "showpage" (which will reset dpsexec
and clear the window) to view single-page files. It does not handle
multi-page files gracefully.

The typical error messages will be:
Could not load program [program_name]
Member shr4.o not found or file not an archive
Member shr4.o not found or file not an archive
Could not load library libXt.a[shr4.o]
Error was: No such file or directory
It's because that we built the programs using X11 libraries of MIT
which are not compatible with those of IBM. If this is the case,
then please get the compressed tarred file of the source code instead,
and recompile them on your system using your libraries.

Do the following:
iptrace -i en0 /tmp/ipt
The iptrace backgrounds. Find its process id and kill it when you are
ready. Then run
ipreport -rns /tmp/ipt >/tmp/ipr
and look at the output. The current version of Info does not document
the r, n and s options but they are quite useful for layering the output.
