Addition of Journal Code/Entry type description table

Make "Memory Region Size" on a server dynamic

Recently, we encountered issues with Grub on Linux that it was not possible to use the standard 256MB memory region size on a server. We wish that the memory region size can be dynamic or defined per LPAR instead of a system wide setting, as chang...

Currently HIPER fixes have no signature files for the efix packages. Other efixes have .sig files so that those efixes can be verified after download, and installed via the "new" efix_sec AIX command. Security issue: for HIPER fixes is even more i...
