Steps to insll AIX on SAN

1) check the SEA settings
# ifconfig -a
en26: flags=1e080863,180
        inet 9.124.62.172 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 9.124.62.255
         tcp_sendspace 131072 tcp_recvspace 65536 rfc1323 0
lo0: flags=e08084b,1c0
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 127.255.255.255
        inet6 ::1%1/0
         tcp_sendspace 131072 tcp_recvspace 131072 rfc1323 1

       
2) check SEA

$ lsmap -all -net
SVEA   Physloc
------ --------------------------------------------
ent24  U9117.MMC.06FF076-V1-C2-T1

SEA                 NO SHARED ETHERNET ADAPTER FOUND

SVEA   Physloc
------ --------------------------------------------
ent25  U9117.MMC.06FF076-V1-C4-T1

SEA                   ent26
Backing device        ent12
Status                Available
Physloc               U78C0.001.DBJU087-P2-C8-T3

3) check all virtual devices

$ lsdev -virtual
name             status      description
ent24            Available   Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
ent25            Available   Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
vasi0            Available   Virtual Asynchronous Services Interface (VASI)
vbsd0            Available   Virtual Block Storage Device (VBSD)
vfchost0         Available   Virtual FC Server Adapter
vhost0           Defined     Virtual SCSI Server Adapter
vsa0             Available   LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
name             status      description
ent26            Available   Shared Ethernet Adapter

ent26 is SEA adapter & configured as IP.

4) check NPIV setting

$ lsmap -all -npiv
Name          Physloc                            ClntID ClntName       ClntOS
------------- ---------------------------------- ------ -------------- -------
vfchost0      U9117.MMC.06FF076-V1-C3                 2

Status:NOT_LOGGED_IN
FC name:                        FC loc code:
Ports logged in:0
Flags:1
VFC client name:                VFC client DRC:

Backing device not configured..

5) $ lsnports
name             physloc                        fabric tports aports swwpns  awwpns
fcs0             U5802.001.9K8L547-P1-C1-T1          0     64     64   2048    2048
fcs2             U5802.001.9K8L547-P1-C4-T1          0     64     64   2048    2048
fcs4             U5802.001.9K8L547-P1-C2-T1          0     64     64   2048    2048
fcs6             U78C0.001.DBJU087-P2-C2-T1          0     64     64   2048    2048
fcs8             U78C0.001.DBJU087-P2-C5-T1          1     64     64   2048    2048
fcs10            U78C0.001.DBJU087-P2-C6-T1          1     64     64   2048    2048


6)  lscfg -vpl fcs8
WWPN no  Address.............10000000C9D55346

lscfg -vpl fcs10
Network Address.............10000000C9EF7952

7) Add WWPN in Storage & SAN switchc

login in san switch

#switchshow
 36  36   011600   id    N8   Online      FC  F-Port  10:00:00:00:c9:ef:79:52
 37  37   011400   id    N8   Online      FC  F-Port  1 N Port + 1 NPIV public --> existing
 38  38   011200   id    N8   Online      FC  F-Port  10:00:00:00:c9:d5:53:46
 39  39   011000   id    N8   Online      FC  F-Port  1 N Port + 1 NPIV public ---> existing

8) AIX client WWPN no

WWPNs:   
c050760515f70004
   
c050760515f70005

9) Map the vfchost with physical FC
vfcmap -vadapter vfchost0 -fcp fcs8

$ vfcmap -vadapter vfchost0 -fcp fcs8
$ lsmap -all -npiv
Name          Physloc                            ClntID ClntName       ClntOS
------------- ---------------------------------- ------ -------------- -------
vfchost0      U9117.MMC.06FF076-V1-C3                 2

Status:NOT_LOGGED_IN
FC name:fcs8                    FC loc code:U78C0.001.DBJU087-P2-C5-T1
Ports logged in:0
Flags:4
VFC client name:                VFC client DRC:

Webmin configuration for LDAP

By -
We cannot add or delete users by default so we have to do below changes in LDAP module in GUI mode only. Configuring the module The most complex part of using this module is configuring it to talk to your LDAP server. By default, it will attempt to auto-detect the settings by looking at the LDAP client settings on your system, documented on the LDAPClient page. However, if this fails (perhaps because the LDAP server is not one of its own clients), you will need to configure the module manually as follows : On the module's main page, click on the Module Config link. In the LDAP server host field, enter the hostname of your LDAP server. If it is running on the same machine, enter localhost. If the LDAP server is using encryption, change the LDAP server uses TLS? option to Yes. In the Bind to LDAP server as field, enter the full DN of the administrative user for your LDAP server. This might be something like cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com. In the Credentials for bind name above field,...
