    Monitor and display inline log usage

    Add netmasks into ftpaccess.ctl

    /etc/ftpaccess.ctl controls access to FTP service on AIX. Now you can specify only single hosts in the "allow:" line, separated by commas. Netmask values like "10.0.0.0/8" or "10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0" can't be used. FTP doesn't recognize hosts in the n...

    Provide a usable lpstat tool in AIX

    In some of our AIX environments we use / want to use printing to remote print servers. For this we configure local print queues. They point to the different print servers, which are sometimes built in interface cards in the printers or external pr...

    ksh93 shopt_audit support

    We need to be able to log commands used by the ksh93 shell to meet PCI requirements for any user account - specifically the root account. This is accomplished by setting the SHOPT_AUDIT option at compile time for ksh93. We need an IBM supportable ...

    Add wrapper to /usr/opt/rpm/bin/patch

    GNU patch which is delivered as part of rpm.rte has a known bug on AIX. It dumps core with out of memory error in some case if nofiles is set to -1 or unlimited. Please add a wrapper to check if nofiles is set to unlimited and if it is, set ulimit...

    Stock AIX images in PowerVS need more space in /var and /opt to install programs and tools

    Both clients, IBM Test, and IBM development teams would benefit from more space in /var and /opt in order to install tools (both internal and openSource). Suggest increasing the space by 100 MByte as reasonable free space. As a workaround to this ...

    Flag for lsmpio to show Storagecontroller

    lsmpio has no switch to identify presenting Storagecontroller. If we migrate Storage (e.g. from SVC1 to SVC2) there is no easy way to make sure, all LUNs have been migrated. We have to find out UID and search on SVC for that ID.It would be helpful...

    Add feature to report size (df) based on quota set on fileset(gpfs) rather than filesystem size for AIX

    On system with GPFS filesystems when quotas are enforced for a fileset (other than the root fileset), the numbers reported by the df command are based on the quotas for the fileset (rather than the entire file system). This option affects the df c...

    Update of allocp needed to permit usage of all available space in VG

    The layout of the logical volume on the existing luns is providing a constraint that is restricting which disks can be used for expansion. Those luns are not being counted in the expansion and allocp produces the message: 0516-404 allocp: This sys...
