Hello Still in analysis phase for AIX &Oracle (I need to find time to write code). Sorry for being late... BUT I've an improvement idea for the AIX errpt wrapper. After this wonderful course 'bout SP/2 & PSSP Problem determination course in Montpellier, I'm able to define the RSCT (HA) logs & event managers used within PSSP (Cluster Management, used on RS6K SP/2 and node-attached servers (S-* and p690). Globaly, logs resides in /var/adm/SPlogs and /var/adm/ha/logs for PSSP & RSCT, and /var/adm/css for SP Switch logs. For some of them, logs are divided in some files, with <> levels of debuging or errors/events/all, for others, the're already handled by daemons (hats, hags) and send to anothers (haem) where the sysadmin can define automatic actions via Event Manager (pman), such as send mail, add errpt entry or take immediate action on system itself (by system partition, by node or by frame, on daemons or everything like files,....). Can take actions on event & on rearm (second case of the event) Very interresting and sometimes even not used by sysadmins on sites, 'cause of less knowledge of its existence. I carry all the information to Belgium make a schema next week. Now, for IPFC implementation, we have two ways: or use the natif daemons & Event Manager to send required data to our wrapper (easy), or write wrapper to catch data from the <> logs, as for "dumb" logs. I guess it's better to use built-in functionnalities of pman (Throu Perspectives/Event Manager or pmandef command) because system can take parallel actions on events (send info to IPFC and correct on system if needed, at the same time). PS: Ther're lots of penguins here in IBM Montpellier, and 1m-height Tux in the entry and labs; some S/390 running Suse Linux 7.2 /390 above VM, a Linux-netfinity cluster, some RS/6000 are also running RedHat 7.0 Linux! I was heard that the new Regatta p690 server (replacing SP/2 in some months, with Mainframe-looking harware excepting PowerPC4 cpus...) will support virtual partitions running native Linux and other AIX 5.2l. From now, just AIX runs on it, but you have two management consoles to control it: a CWS under AIX 5.2l for PSSP 3.4 and...a PC running RedHat Linux to manage all the VPAR (virtual partitions) of the frame (a node can be divided on virtual machines, like a mainframe)... WONDERFULL!! but I cannot make pictures, cameras are banned inside the factory... See you! -- Vincent Jamart UNIX systems engineer phone: +32-495/21.22.58 mail: vin...@be... ------------------------------ "My sister opened a computer store in Hawai.
