Kompatibilität zu anderen OS Systemen

On some AIX 6.1 instances, you can not mount NFS shares from a LINUX server. The root of the error lies in how AIX handles its NFS ports. You can configure AIX to use the standard NFS ports so that it can successfull connect to LINUX NFS service.
Run below comand to setup AIX NFS options to use the proper ports for Linux NFS mounts to activate portcheck:

nfso -p -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1

To deactivate portcheck:

nfso -p -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=0

f this setting does not survive a reboot, you can manually edit /etc/tunables/nextboot file as follows:

and run:

tuncheck -f /etc/tunables/nextboot

Then NFS share could mount normally. Below example show how to mount the share temporar:

mount nfsserver:/exported/share /mnt

Mounting ISO images in AIX 6 and 7

loopmount -i [ISOFILE] -o "-V cdrfs -o ro" -m [MOUNTPOINT]

How do I find OS version

oslevel -r

I prefer the command, because his shows if you are missing fileset fixes for the level you are

instfix -i|grep ML

Networking

find/display your MAC

As the root user type:

"netstat -ia"

From the displayed information, find the Ethernet adapter (the name changes based on the Ethernet card installed)
Locate the number below Address. This is your MAC address

define static routes

using chdev to list/add/change/remove routing
list routing information

lsattr -El inet0 -a route

or

odmget -q "attribute=route" CuAt

or

netstat -nr

add default route

route add 0

or

chdev -l inet0 -a route="net,,0,"

add route from network 172.27.101.0 with gateway 172.27.101.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0 to network 172.30.192.0

chdev -l inet0 -a route="net,-hopcount,0,-netmask,255,255,255,0,,,,,-static,172.30.192.0,172.27.101.1"

delete default route

route delete default

delete route that is listed above by lsattr or odmget

chdev -l inet0 -a delroute="STRING from above"

After updating the routing, you need to use mkdev to refresh it.

mkdev -l inet0

Networking
• The 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). Typically 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.
Determine if rc.bsdnet is used over rc.net
lsattr -El inet0 -a bootup option
TCP/IP related daemon startup script
/etc/rc.tcpip
To view the route table
netstat -r
To view the route table from the ODM DB
lsattr -EHl inet0 -a route
Temporarily add a default route
route add default 192.168.1.1
Temporarily add an address to an interface
ifconfig en0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
Temporarily add an alias to an interface
ifconfig en0 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
To permanently add an IP address to the en1 interface
chdev -l en1 -a netaddr=192.168.1.1 -a netmask=0xffffff00
Permanently add an alias to an interface
chdev -l en0 -a alias4=192.168.1.3,255.255.255.0
Remove a permanently added alias from an interface
chdev -l en0 -a delalias4=192.168.1.3,255.255.255.0
List ODM (next boot) IP configuration for interface
lsattr -El en0
Permanently set the hostname
chdev -l inet0 -a hostname=bombay
List networking devices
lsdev -Cc tcpip
List Network Interfaces
lsdev -Cc if
List attributes of inet0
lsattr -Ehl inet0
List (physical layer) attributes of ent0
lsattr -El ent0
List (networking layer) attributes of en0
lsattr -El en0
Set (desired) speed is found through the entX device
lsattr -El ent0 -a media speed
Find actual (negotiated) speed, duplex, and link
entstat -d ent0
→ The interface must be up (ifconfig en0 up) for stats to be valid
Set the ent0 link to Gig full duplex
chdev -l ent0 -a media speed=1000 Full Duplex -P
→ Auto Negotiation is another option
Turn off Interface Specific Network Options
no -p -o use isno=0
Get (long) statistics for the ent0 device (remove -d for shorter results)
entstat -d ent0 ⇐or⇒ netstat -v ent0
→ The results of entstat vary by device type. Virtual, physical, and
IVE (LHEA) devices all produce different results.
List all open, and in use TCP and UDP ports
netstat -anf inet
List all LISTENing TCP ports
netstat -na | grep LISTEN
Remove all TCP/IP configuration from a host
rmtcpip
Flush the netcd DNS cache
netcdctrl -t dns -e hosts -f
• Hostname lookup order is determined using /etc/irs.conf,
/etc/netsvc.conf and then $NSORDER. irs.conf and $NSORDER
are typically not used.
• IP packets can be captured using iptrace / ipreport or tcpdump
