It’a *VERY* beta version, maybe will crash, maybe not.

There’s lots of features, a new theme (still beta, I need to fix images and so on), Elta rootfs, etc.

Obviously, no roms or copyrighted bios.

A time a go, I’m discuting with some friends about if it’s time (or not) to change my default window manager for AIX installations.
I’m working with AIX about 10 years or more (I don’t remember). My default installation for graphic system is CDE (I’m always install x-server + cde, because there’s lot of applications that need some libraries). But since the first release of AIX 5.3 you can install Gnome or KDE from oficial DVD/CD. I personally like CDE because its easy to work, and you don’t even need a powerful desktop system in AIX.
Unless some applications ask for more compatibility libraries or dependencies, CDE will be my default.

Discuss.

Just some pre-req that I do in my AIX installations (I use some necessary Oracle reqs, just in case):

Ok.. just a warning, use at your own risk (all tunings are oracle and ibm based, so I’m not responsible if you mess the things up). After that, ask your customer for some different tunings, if needed.

The LUN reserve_policy must be set to “no_reserve” on the hdisks (on both JS22s) before the logical partition is created. Open a virtual terminal for the VIOS Partition (Partition 1) from the IVM GUI and type the following:

chdev –dev hdisk# -attr reserve_policy=no_reserve

To verify this attribute has been changed type the following:

lsattr –dev hdisk# -attr

You can access SMIT tasks and sub-menus directly by using a fast path.

Example: smit mkuser takes you directly to the menu Add a User.
At any menu in SMIT, you can show the fast path to that menu by pressing the F8 key.
This table is pretty good to print them and keep it.
