I am looking for a polite "brick to the head" regarding the setup of email alerting from HDvM server
.
The instructions in Section "Settings Required for Email Notification" of Chapter 6 "Settings on the Device Manager Server" appear pretty straight forward but I can get no indication of life for mail being sent.
.
Does anyone have experience with this? Are there any undocumented assumptions (prereqs) I might have missed or any instructions that I might have interpretated incorrectly. (For testing this is pretty basic - add SMTP server address in server.properties, add email address to "system" account, restart HDvM&common services)
.
Win 2K3, HDvM 6.2,
- no email authentication for SMTP server, firewall sorted - able to post mail with other apps from same server.
- even tried an invalid SMTP and email addresses to see if I could generate KAIC00407-E, KAIC00408-E or similar

TIA - appreciate any pointers ...
Peter

Anyone have a quick fix for a Linux(RHEL) host appearing @ the HDvM Server with a 127.0.0.1 address.
.
Host is basic new install no customisation,
- only one ethernet port - eth0 (An lo - local loopback is defined but I see no reason why I should delete this)
- HDvM agent installs cleanly,
- Registration communicates with Server
- HiScan works fine to send data to the Server.

Host object @ server populates with WWN and LDEVs etc.

Refresh wont work
KAIC07790-E
An error occurred during communicating with the host agent "http://127.0.0.1:24041"

PS. HDLM also installs fine at the host and HDvM server adds the HDLM button to the host but the return path (HDLM Launcher) also fails with a reference to 127.0.0.1.

For AIX VIO Partition (with Live Partition Mobility) I should map the rootvg LDEV with only 4 Paths and all other LDEV with 8 Paths.

Should I use a Port CL1-A/CL2-A for the rootvg LDEV and CL5-G/CL6-G for the other LDEVs?

What is the best solution for my problem?

Best regards,

Stephane

as far as I know if we would like to use Cache Residency Manager, CE has to define some part of the cache to be able to use this feature.
Let's assume we have 32 GB of cache.
We decided to define i.e. 16 GB as cache for CRM. Then we realize that it is too much and we need only 8GB for CRM. Can we reuse rest of unused CRM cache as a normal cache ?

Is there anything we should be aware of using CRM ? Any (sort of) best practises ?
