    API (probably in perfstat) for querying the VLAN(s) and vSwitch for virtual LAN interfaces

    Haven't found a documented API for querying the VLAN(s) and vSwitch associated with a virtual LAN interface. Worked through an undocumented API for a plain, virtual interface, but that doesn't work if it's behind an EtherChannel or SEA.

    I need to apply an AIXC ACL to the thousands of files in a directory tree as quickly as possible. The aclput -R command seems usable, but it also applies the ACL to the subdirectories found in the tree. As the acl is defined with rw-rw---- permiss...

    Improvement of i_node cache handling

    Request to change the handling of inode cache to be smarted as file cache handling in AIX. Comparing with file system cache and i-node cache handling is different from AIX. For memory management on filesystem cache, the file cache size can be incr...

    Preview tool requested for chfs and allocp

    A way to run chfs / allocp in a preview mode would be extremely useful. It has been found that attempts to expand striped logical volumes can fail in seemingly random fashion. This makes the success of the operation unpredictable which can be cost...
