What is IBM AIX (Advance Interactive eXecutive) Operating System ?

04:05 Posted by Anil K Y Ommi No Comments

A computer consists of many hardware devices that the users of a computer system want to use. For example, they want to print documents or they want to play a game from a CD-ROM. To control these hardware devices and to share them between multiple users an operating system must be loaded during the system startup.

AIX Operating System Basics:

In the case of the AIX operating system, there is one special program which interfaces directly to the hardware devices - the AIX Kernel. The Kernel controls the access to the devices. On the other hand the users start different programs, for example, a program that prints a document or removes a file. These programs that run in AIX processes are also controlled by the AIX Kernel. To say it in easy words: The AIX Kernel is the heart of your operating system.

Working on AIX:

AIX is a multi-user system. Before a user can work with AIX, an authentication process takes place. The user must log in with his username and password. After a successful authentication AIX starts a certain program for the user, a shell. The shell is a command interpreter that waits for input and executes the commands and programs the user types in. As you will learn in this course, the shell is not only a command
interpreter - it offers great flexibility.

Multiple users can work at the same time on an AIX system or in a network. One of the basic tasks in your daily work is to communicate with other users on a system or in the network. In this course you will learn different commands that allow communication with other users.

AIX offers a wide range of tools and commands. To get help about these commands, AIX offers different possibilities, for example, the man command or the AIX Online.

One of the major tasks of a computer system is to read and write data. In order to do this AIX uses a hierarchical file tree that consists of directories, subdirectories and files. The top level directory is called the root (/) directory that has many subdirectories. Each of these subdirectories can contain files or other subdirectories. Compare a directory with a document folder in which you put certain documents.

The file tree is mounted during the system startup. AIX supports different file system types, which are all mounted to one big file tree. This is shown on the visual. Parts of this file tree reside on a disk, other parts may reside on a CD-ROM or are mounted from another computer in a network.

This course explains how to work with directories and files on a user level. You will learn how to navigate in the file tree and how to manage directories. You will learn how to copy, move, delete and print files, how to edit files using the common UNIX editor vi. Another topic will be how to specify correct file permissions.

The SHELL: User Interface to AIX

When you log in successfully to an AIX system a special program is started for you - the shell. The shell waits for input and executes the commands and programs you type in. In other words the shell is a command interpreter.

The shell offers many features (like wildcards to match filenames, variables, command line editing) that help the user in his daily work. We will discuss all these features in this course. The shell is customizable, that means the user interface may be tailored according to the requirements of each user. Customizing the user environment is another topic in this course.

The shell offers different ways to control processes. In this course we explain how a user can control his processes. Besides all these properties the shell is a programming language. You can write shell scripts to create and tailor commands. Writing simple shell scripts is one additional topic in this course.

AIX Utilities:

The components that you use on AIX are files and directories. To work with these components AIX offers a wide range of utilities:

The find command to search for specific files.

The grep command to search for patterns in files.

Commands to compare files and directories.

Commands to compress and uncompress files to save disk space.

Note that this list is not complete. Besides these utilities the course introduces additional tools that are useful for your work.

AIX Graphical User Interfaces:

Modern operating systems are based on graphical desktops. These desktops consist of multiple Windows where you can start different applications, icons that are minimized windows to manage the screen space, and further controls.

To execute certain actions on the desktop, you have to use the mouse attached to the system. AIX offers two different graphical user interfaces:

AIXwindows

Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

Using and customizing these desktops are major topics in this course. If you install the AIX Toolbox for Linux applications, two more graphical user interfaces are supported. These are the KDE and Gnome desktops.

Types of AIX error logs and commands to query the error logs

09:38 Posted by Anil K Y Ommi No Comments

The error logging process begins when an operating system module detects an error.The error-detecting segment of code then sends error information to either the errsave kernel service and errlast kernel service for pending system crash or the errlog subroutine to log an application error, where the information is, in turn, written to the /dev/error special file. This process then adds a time stamp to the collected data. The errdemon daemon constantly checks the /dev/error file for new entries, and when new data is written, the daemon conducts a series of operations.

Before an entry is written to the error log, the errdemon daemon compares the label sent by the kernel or application code to the contents of the error record template repository. If the label matches an item in the repository, the daemon collects additional data from other parts of the system.

To create an entry in the error log, the errdemon daemon retrieves the appropriate template from the repository, the resource name of the unit that detected the error, and detailed data. Also, if the error signifies a hardware-related problem and hardware Vital Product Data (VPD) exists, the daemon retrieves the VPD from the Object Data Manager (ODM). When you access the error log, either through SMIT or with the errpt command, the error log is formatted according to the error template in the error template repository and presented in either a summary or detailed report.

The system administrator can look at the error log to determine what caused a failure, or to periodically check the health of the system when it is running. There are different types of error logs in AIX operating system

alog - have error logs about boot, console messages, NIM and others

errlog - have error logs about hardware, kernel, and some apps

syslog - have error logs about Internet dameons, and apps

Examples on how to query these error log details

Display the contents of the boot log

alog -o -t boot

Display the contents of the console log

alog -o -t console

List all log types that alog knows

alog -L

Display the contents of the system error log

errpt (Add -a or -A for varying levels of verbosity)

Clear all errors up until x days ago.

errclear x

List info on error ID FE2DEE00 (IDENTIFIER column in errpt output)

errpt -aDj FE2DEE00

Put a “tail” on the error log

errpt -c

List all errors that happened today

errpt -s ‘date +%m%d0000%y‘

To list all errors on hdisk0

errpt -N hdisk0

To list details about the error log

/usr/lib/errdemon -l

To change the size of the error log to 2 MB

/usr/lib/errdemon -s 2097152

To display information about errors in the error log file in detailed format

errpt -a

In AIX 5L Version 5.1, the errpt command now supports an intermediate output format by using the -A flag,

errpt -A -j identifier

Where identifier is the eight digit hexadecimal unique error identifier.

Also Read: AIX Scenario based questions

To display a detailed report of all errors logged for a particular error identifier,

errpt -a -j identifier

Where identifier is the eight digit hexadecimal unique error identifier.

To clear all entries from the error log, enter the following command:

errclear 0

To stop error logging, enter the following command:

usr/lib/errstop

To start error logging, enter the following command:

/usr/lib/errdemon

To list the current setting of error log file and buffer size and duplicate information

/usr/lib/errdemon -l

If you want to change the buffer size and error log file size, you can use the errdemon command.

Network Configuration commands in AIX

08:49 Posted by Anil K Y Ommi No Comments

In IBM AIX operating System, entX is the physical device. It is associated with physical layer settings such as link speed, and duplex. enX and etX determine the frame type run on entX . IP addresses are configured on enX (Standard Ethernet) or etX (802.3). In a typical AIX network configuration only enX is used.

The examples here assume that the default TCP/IP configuration (rc.net) method is used. If the alternate method of using rc.bsdnet is used then some of these examples may not apply.

Use of no and ODM commands in AIX Servers

11:12 Posted by Anil K Y Ommi No Comments

no command in AIX is used to tune the network parameters and ODM is a database of system and device configuration information integrated into the OS.

no command

Use the no command to configure network tuning parameters. The no command sets or displays current or next boot values for network tuning parameters. This command can also make permanent changes or defer changes until the next reboot. Whether the command sets or displays a parameter is determined by the accompanying flag.When the no command is used to modify a network option it logs a message to the syslog using the LOG_KERN facility.

Be careful when you use this command. If used incorrectly, the no command can cause your system to become inoperable. Before modifying any tunable parameter, you should first carefully read about all its characteristics in the Tunable Parameters section below, and follow any Refer To pointer, in order to fully understand its purpose. You must then make sure that the Diagnosis and Tuning sections for this parameter truly apply to your situation and that changing the value of this parameter could help improve the performance of your system.

vmo -h minperm%

Change the maximum number of user processes to 2048

chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=2048

Directory containing tunables settings

/etc/tunables/

ODM (OBJECT DATA MANAGER)

It is a database of system and device configuration information integrated into the OS. It is intended for storing system informations software infos(like smit menus and commands, installed filesets) and device infos (like device configurations, tcp/ip config). For safety reasons the ODM data is stored in binary format. All ODM commands use the ODMDIR environment variable, that is set in file /etc/environment. The default value of ODMDIR is /etc/objrepos.

You can create, add, change, retrieve, display, delete, and remove objects and object classes with ODM. You enter ODM commands on the command line. You can put ODM subroutines in a C language program to handle objects and object classes. An ODM subroutine returns a value of -1 if the subroutine is unsuccessful. The specific error diagnostic is returned as the odmerrno external variable (defined in the odmi.h include file). ODM error-diagnostic constants are also included in the odmi.h include file.

File system types supported by AIX

10:43 Posted by Anil K Y Ommi No Comments

A file system is a complete directory structure, including a root ( / ) directory and any directories and files beneath it. A file system is confined to a logical volume. All of the information about the file system is centralized in the /etc/filesystems file. Most of the file system maintenance commands take their defaults from this file. The file is organized into stanza names that are file system names and contents that are attribute-value pairs specifying characteristics of the file system. AIX provides powerful tools for management of disks and file systems. This is accomplished through the use of JFS (Journaled File System) and LSM (Logical Storage Manager).

The filesystems file serves two purposes:

It documents the layout characteristics of the file systems.
It frees the person who sets up the file system from having to enter and remember items such as the device where the file system resides, because this information is defined in the file.

AIX supports two types of file systems

Local File Systems

Journaled File System (JFS)

A journaling file system allows for quick file system recovery after a crash occurs by logging the metadata of files. By enabling file system logging, the system records every change in the metadata of the file into a reserved area of the file system. The actual write operations are performed after the logging of changes to the metadata has been completed.

Enhanced Journaled File System (JFS2)

Enhanced JFS, or JFS2, is another native AIX journaling file system that was introduced in AIX 5.1. Enhanced JFS is the default file system for 64-bit kernel environments. Due to address space limitations of the 32–bit kernel, Enhanced JFS is not recommended for use in 32-bit kernel environments.

CD ROM File System

A CD ROM file system is a read-only file system that is stored on CD ROM media. AIX supports several types of CD-ROM File Systems. Please refer to AIX documentation for more details.

RAM file system

A RAM disk is a simulated disk drive that resides in memory. RAM disks are designed to have significantly higher I/O performance than physical drives, and are typically used to overcome I/O bottlenecks with nonpersistent files. The maximum size of a RAM file system is limited by the amount of available system memory. You can create a file system on the RAM disk device to make it available for normal file system usage. Do not use RAM disks for persistent data, as all data is lost if the system crashes or reboots.

Remote File Systems

Network File System

The Network File System, or NFS, is a distributed file system that allows you to access files and directories located on remote computers and treat those files and directories as if they were local. For example, you can use operating system commands to create, remove, read, write, and set file attributes for remote files and directories.

Name File System (NameFS)

NameFS provides the function of file-over-file and directory-over-directory mounts (also called soft mounts) that allows you to mount a subtree of a file system in a different place in the file name space, allowing a file to be accessed through two different path names. A NameFS file system is a purely logical entity. It exists only during the time it is mounted, and serves only as a means of grouping files for logical reasons. All operations on an object accessed through NameFS are implemented by the physical file system type that contains it and the function and semantics of that file system apply as if there were no interposing NameFS.

General Parallel File System

The General Parallel File System, or GPF, is a high-performance, shared-disk file system that can provide fast data access to all nodes in a server cluster. Parallel and serial applications access files using standard UNIX file system interfaces, such as those in AIX. GPFS provides high performance by striping I/O across multiple disks, high availability through logging, replication, and both server and disk failover.
