Yeahh… I’m using AppGate since several times for accessing a customers management network. I like this way of accessing management systems and I wanted to introduce AppGate at work. But the license was too expensive for our small network. Today we talked again about a dedicated management network at work. Just for fun I browsed […]
It’s done. I have a running IBM BladeCenter-based Power server environment with a current release of AIX and VIOS. At the beginning I had some problems, but the IBM world was entirely new for me. 😉 But after I get my NIMOL (NIM on Linux) server with VIOS 2.2 image up and running, it was […]
As mentioned in my previous blog, I started to rebuild my necessary home systems. Last year I was running some servers in my home lab, but my power bill was a shock! I decided to replace everything with a HP MicroServer. Since two months my HP MicroServer is doing a very good job. 🙂 It’s […]
Yesterday I received a new toy for my home lab: An IBM BladeCenter E Two weeks ago I auctioned two IBM JS21 power blades for very little money, because a rack based IBM Power4 oder Power5 server is incredible expensive. Even an outdatet pSeries 615/630 with slow 1 GHz Power4 processor is not affordable. I […]
Here I am back again. 😉 The last weeks I had lot’s of work, so there was only little time for my blog and private activities. But this was a big chance to turn off lot’s systems in my home lab and run only the necessary servers for my home network. I watched 2 months […]
Time for my first blog in 2011 ! And it’s about Sun… hoouuw hooouw… 😀 Last year a good friend gave me a Sun Fire V490. The system was new and never used but had no system board. After several months searching for an affordable system board with no success I forgot the system and […]

The next reminder… 😉 Fast introduction into installing an Ignite-UX install server for HP-UX. Remember ILO2 Virtual Media is terrible slow! Put all HP-UX ISO on a NFS server, extract the contents into folders and export the file system. Mount the NFS share on your HP-UX server, for example: # mount -F nfs ius025:/export/iso-images/hpux /mnt […]
Again a reminder for me. Copy from HP-UX VM Host following file to the guest machine and install the HPVM-Guest bundle. vmhost# scp /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd root@vmguest:/tmp vmguest# swinstall -s /tmp/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd Mark HPVM-Guest Go to Actions -> Install… Reboot !
