AIX NMon

AIX 5.3 TL10 now includes Nmon (Nigel's monitor), which when used in conjunction with the data collector Excel Spreadsheet, can provide detailed performance statistics.

And we complain about the NHS!

Last week I received a message from my health insurance provider saying that as my contract had finished and I had changed payroll provider, I was no longer insured. Genius as both the old and the new company both use the same insurance company!

I am now waiting for my payroll provider to get them to send me a new policy. Lord alone knows what happens if I had an accident whilst waiting for these idiots at the insurance company to sort this out?

Curiously they are still taking my money.

Interesting AIX Problem - Cannot start llbd

The llbd daemon is required to generate some hardware alerts yet it abends on some machines as soon as you try to start it and an errpt entry is created. The messages suggests that the srchevn.c is at fault, but I think that this is only the detecting mode.

There is plenty of free disk space and memory, and all the partitions are built from the same mksysb?

Any suggestions are welcome.
