If you want to buy a modem to use with Live TIM in Brazil you need to make sure you’re buying a VDSL2 modem.

If you buy an ADSL2 or an ADSL2+ modem, it will not work.

You need the following information to make a connection in your modem

Message : UXMON: Service /system/webconsole:console (java web console) status is maintenance.
Msg Group : OS
Application : svcsmon
Object : svcs
Event Type :
not_found

Instance Name :
not_found

Instruction : The svcsmon has detected solaris service status

Please, for details, browse the /var/opt/OV/log/OpC/svcs_mon.log
The configuration file uses to be /var/opt/OV/conf/OpC/svcs_mon.cfg

Verify the service status

root@solaris10:~ # svcs -xv svc:/system/webconsole:console
svc:/system/webconsole:console (java web console)
State: maintenance since Tue May 12 07:24:23 2015
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M smcwebserver
See: /var/svc/log/system-webconsole:console.log
Impact: This service is not running.

After disabling the service, it is not completely disabled

root@solaris10:~ # svcs svc:/system/webconsole:console
STATE STIME FMRI
offline* 10:26:43 svc:/system/webconsole:console

Run this command as shown below and then run svcadm clear svc:/system/webconsole:console

root@solaris10:~ # /usr/share/webconsole/private/bin/wcremove -i console

Stopping console process…

Disabling console service…

Removing console instance configuration files…

root@solaris10:~ # svcadm clear svc:/system/webconsole:console

It shouldn’t be a problem anymore

root@solaris10:~ # svcs svc:/system/webconsole:console
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled 10:27:35 svc:/system/webconsole:console

If you still have problems, check the process of the svc-webconsole script and then kill it. First try to kill with kill and if it not works, use kill -9

root@solaris10:~ # ps -ef | grep web
root 15623 9 0 10:27:06 ? 0:00 /sbin/sh /lib/svc/method/svc-webconsole start
root 15646 15623 0 10:27:07 ? 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/share/webconsole/private/bin/sjwcx start -i console -u noaccess —

root@solaris10:~ # kill -9 15623

Check again. It should be disabled

Checking metadevice state database

root@solaris10:~ # metadb
metadb: solaris10: there are no existing databases

In the example below I’m going to create three copies on partition 7 of disk c0t1d0

root@solaris10:~ # metadb -a -f -c3 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7

Checking metadevice state database

root@solaris10:~ # metadb
flags first blk block count
a u 16 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
a u 8208 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7
a u 16400 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7

Creating the metadevice with disk partitions

root@solaris10:~ # metainit -f d12 1 1 c0t1d0s0
d12: Concat/Stripe is setup
root@solaris10:~ # metainit -f d22 1 1 c0t1d0s1
d22: Concat/Stripe is setup
root@solaris10:~ # metainit -f d32 1 1 c0t1d0s3
d32: Concat/Stripe is setup

Metadevices created

root@solaris10:~ # metastat -p
d32 1 1 c0t1d0s3
d22 1 1 c0t1d0s1
d12 1 1 c0t1d0s0

Setting up Solaris Volume Manager mirror.

root@solaris10:~ # metainit d10 -m d12
d10: Mirror is setup

Setting up to boot with the mirror

root@solaris10:~ # metaroot d10

Setting up the rest of metadevices as mirror as well

root@solaris10:~ # metainit d30 -m d32
d30: Mirror is setup

root@solaris10:~ # metainit d20 -m d22
d20: Mirror is setup

Checking the status

root@solaris10:~ # metastat -p
d20 -m d22 1
d22 1 1 c0t1d0s1
d30 -m d32 1
d32 1 1 c0t1d0s3
d10 -m d12 1
d12 1 1 c0t1d0s0

root@solaris10:~ # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

After the reboot, check if the server is using the metadevice using df -h

Then create the metadevices for the other side of the mirror and attach them

metainit -f d11 1 1 c0t0d0s0
metainit -f d21 1 1 c0t0d0s1
metainit -f d31 1 1 c0t0d0s3

metattach d10 d11
metattach d20 d21
metattach d30 d31

Create the database replicas on the other disk as well

metadb -a -f -c3 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7

If you want to do it online, with some tool under Linux, it can’t be done.

Unless you have an HP Proliant 100 series, you need to enter the RBSU and change the serial number.

Setsys Utility for HP ProLiant 100 series G5 and G6 Servers

Always remember to change the serial number back when replacing the system board.

Tried to update iLO2 but when I ran the scexe file it gave me an error message

To remove files that contain symbols and unknown characters, list the files with ls -li and take note of the inode number

root@linux:~ # ls -li

2495249 -rw——- 1 root root 13810 Jan 28 2011 ????!

Run the find command and see if it shows the desired file

root@linux:~ # find . -inum 2495260
./????!

And then complete the find command to search, find and remove the file.

root@linux:~ # find . -inum 2495260 -exec rm -i {} \;
rm: remove regular file `./20\36406\b!’? y

Instruction : (Please carry out instructions in order and record output in ticket)

1) check if there is any maintenance ongoing for the respective system. Set an scheduled outage if yes.

2) check if the system is reachable – login to the server in question and ping the OVO management server. if not pingable, inform the second line or technical lead

3) if the system is reachable, generate a test alert on the node in question.

4) if the test alert is not received, do opcagt -kill; then remove temp queue files (/var/opt/OV/tmp/OpC/*q on Unix or on windows,
…\tmp\OpC\*q); then do opcagt -start on the system. Generate another test alert on the node in question.

5) if the the test alert is not received, refer the call to OVO monitoring support team.

Check which host is the HPOM manager and try to ping it

root@solaris:/ # /opt/OV/bin/ovconfget | grep OPC_PRIMARY_MGR
OPC_PRIMARY_MGR=hpommanager.omc.hp.com

root@solaris:/ # ping hpommanager.omc.hp.com
hpommanager.omc.hp.com is alive

Try also to use the tool bbcutil and check the status. If everything is also okay, the manager is having trouble reaching the managed host.

root@solaris:/ # bbcutil -ping https://hpommanager.omc.hp.com

Edit file /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst and on the line that contains the word kernel, remove the word splash or rhgb (Red Hat Graphical Boot) from this line.

You will boot in text mode until it is time to transition to graphical mode otherwise you will remain on text mode.

Use this to check all console messages when booting. Useful if you need to connect remotely and pressing Esc or F2 fails

If you need to check, boot the kernel using the option splash=off or remove rhgb. You also can use consoleblank=0 to not turn off the screen.

Reviewing disk paths, I found some paths showing as Missing and some enabled on the same fscsi

root@aix:/ # lspath -l hdisk31
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi0
Missing hdisk31 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi0
Missing hdisk31 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi2
Missing hdisk31 fscsi2
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi2
Missing hdisk31 fscsi2

To correct this situation we will remove the path and recognize again. Check if there is a disk with only one path

root@aix:/ # lspath

Remove one path, run cfgmgr. Remove the other one and run cfgmgr

root@aix:/ # rmpath -p fscsi2 -d
root@aix:/ # cfgmgr
root@aix:/ # rmpath -p fscsi0 -d
root@aix:/ # cfgmgr

It should display like this

root@aix:/ # lspath -l hdisk31
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi2
Enabled hdisk31 fscsi2
