resolv.conf Options

Wed, 2010-12-08 16:48 — blairkenn

I have found the following two resolv.conf options to be extremely usefulAIX logo when standing up AIX systems that are tethered to a Microsoft DNS solution:

options timeout:1
options attempts:1 

The timeout option sets the initial timeout for a query to a nameserver. By default this is 5 seconds in AIX 6.1.

Live Partition Mobility

Wed, 2010-10-06 18:18 — blairkenn

We are tuning and testing the performance of a new policy administration system and SOA platform.  In order to provide some baseline details, we have used IBM PowerVM live partition mobility to reorganize the virtual LPAR topology without having to interrupt or introduce idle time to the effort by stopping and restarting complex application environments.

Fun stuff, and it is never boring to watch a partition migrate between our IBM Power 770 systems.  It is nice to see an implementation coalesce and work as advertised.
