2152.0. "AIX 4.1.4 & LNXBM problem" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Doron Angel) Tue Mar 04 1997 12:55

Hello from Israel,

A major linkworks (V3.07) customer of ours has a LNXBM problem after IBM
installed their November96 level set patches on the customer's AIX 4.1.4 .

The customer defined the problem to be in copying the OMPASSWD file after 
the (10Gbyte!!!) is copied. The LNXBM process is hung!!! 
Currently I interacting with IBM's local support group, and they wonder 
how the copy is done. They wonder what resources are used (that may be their
default allocations
were changed afterthe patches installation).

Pls. note the follwing:

1. A quick reply is needed. IBM intends to send an expert from Austin USA.
I think it'll be only right to let them know if it is really neccessary the 
problem is in their responsibility.

2. The customer's environment is a production environment. An upgrade to
version
3.08 is not possible in the immediate future unsless this is the only
solution.
I need an accurate reply on this issue.

Thanks in advance for the quick response,

Doron Angel,
Linkworks support,
Israel.

Good afternoon from Israel,

I do need an urgent help here.That customer & local IBM service are on my
tail.
I do need some answers.

1. Which unix command or how does LNXBM copys the pool & other files to the 
target directory?

2. Will Version 3.08 solve the problem???

Thanks in advance,

Doron Angel.

I talked to Anton & his guess was that the rpc probably lost connection for
some reason during the pool copy. He was right!!! The IBM expert found that
memory allocation to rpc was limited probably due to new values in their
patch.
The changed the mbuf  which solved the problem.

Doron.

    I don't recommend to use lnxbm without the e-flag. Its better and much
    more efficient to backup the pool with tar or cp.
