Dell offers two types of rails with their servers:
For information on how to choose which type is right for your rack, refer to Dell’s Help Me Choose: Rails guide or their Rail Sizing Matrix.
To verify the Red Hat login used to register a server with Red Hat network, run this command:
grep -A1 "<name>username" /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
If you have forgotten the password, you may reset it using Red Hat’s password reset page and providing the previously-discovered username and email address.
If the server is not registered, you should contact customerservice@redhat.com with your original order confirmation or system configuration for assistance.
From any Windows PC you can access the windows direct share (the /u2/exports directory) by simply going to the main Start menu, choosing Run and typing in the hostname or IP address of your eclipse server.
For example:
\\eclipseServer
or
\\192.168.1.100
You should then see the exports folder as well as other Eclipse samba shares.
If you are receiving the following error in your AIX errpt, you need to increase the size of your dump device:
IDENTIFIER TIMESTAMP T C RESOURCE_NAME DESCRIPTION E87EF1BE 0925150011 P O dumpcheck The largest dump device is too small.
First, identify the largest dump device using the “/usr/lib/ras/dumpcheck -p” command, as in the following example:
eclipse:root:/# /usr/lib/ras/dumpcheck -p The largest dump device is too small. Largest dump device lg_dumplv Largest dump device size in kb 1048576 Current estimated dump size in kb 1501593
In this example, the “dump device” that needs to be increased is “lg_dumplv”. If a file system needs to be increased, the output will give a “file system name”.
If a logical volume needs to be increased, review the current size of this logical volume using the lslv command, similar to the following example:
eclipse:root:/# lslv lg_dumplv LOGICAL VOLUME: lg_dumplv VOLUME GROUP: rootvg LV IDENTIFIER: 0001c02b0000d60000000114a8a42e67.11 PERMISSION: read/write VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: opened/syncd TYPE: sysdump WRITE VERIFY: off MAX LPs: 512 PP SIZE: 128 megabyte(s) COPIES: 1 SCHED POLICY: parallel LPs: 8 PPs: 8 STALE PPs: 0 BB POLICY: relocatable INTER-POLICY: minimum RELOCATABLE: yes INTRA-POLICY: middle UPPER BOUND: 32 MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: None MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: on/ACTIVE EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes Serialize IO ?: NO
Note the number of LPs, and increase the logical volume by a reasonable extent. In this example, I can double the size of the logical volume by adding an additional 8 LPs, as shown in the example command below:
eclipse:root:/# extendlv lg_dumplv 8
If a file system needs to be increased, review the current and estimated sizes of the file system provided by the dumpcheck utility. Then, expand the filesystem using a command similar to the following example:
chfs -a size=8G /var/adm/ras
Once you have confirmed the new size same lslv or df commands, run the same dumpcheck command to verify that no errors or warnings are generated. If the situation has been resolved, running the dumpcheck command will simply return you to the command prompt with no errors.

If Eclipse manages your network firewall we can supply you with information to establish a secure connection remotely over an IPSEC VPN client. The three basic steps are.
1. Install the Cisco VPN client software.
NOTE: Please open an SR if you need the VPN client software
2. Create a connection profile, instructions are available here
3. Click connect with Cisco username and password.
NOTE: Please open an SR if you need this information or you need users added or removed.
