IBM AIX

AIX，是IBM專有UNIX作業系統的商標名。名稱來自先進互動執行系統（英語：Advanced Interactive executive，縮寫為）。最初的名稱來自英語：Advanced IBM Unix，但或許這個名字沒有得到法律部門的允許，因此更改為"Advanced Interactive eXecutive"。

Migrate System Accounts to another Server

Cloning AIX users and groups between servers

# one-liner to generate the commands to clone groups
lsgroup -c -a id ALL | grep -v ^# | awk -F: '{print "mkgroup id=" $2, $1}'

# one-liner to generate the commnads to clone users
lsuser -c -a id pgrp groups home shell gecos ALL | grep -v ^# | awk -F: '{print "useradd -m -u", $2, "-g", $3, "-G", $4, "-c \"" $7 "\" -d ", $5, $1}'

Copying AIX password hashes between servers

# grep -p root /etc/security/passwd
root:
password = 2zfymAdUyNdA.
lastupdate = 1360555127

echo 'root:2zfymAdUyNdA.' | chpasswd -ec

gen_reset_password.sh:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

for user in `lsuser -a ALL`; do
        [ -n "$1" -a "$user" != "$1" ] && continue
        if grep -p ^${user}: /etc/security/passwd | grep -q "password = "; then
                hash=`grep -p ^${user}: /etc/security/passwd | grep "password = " | awk -F " = " '{print $2}'`
                echo "echo '${user}:${hash}' | chpasswd -ec"
        fi
done

# ./gen_reset_password.sh    
echo 'root:2zfymAdUyNdA.' | chpasswd -ec
echo 'daemon:*' | chpasswd -ec

AIX 管理技巧

Install package lsof

Where to download the lsof, bind, rsyslog, openssh, openssl, etc packages?

URL: https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/packageList?source=aixbp&lang=en_US

lsof_4.892.tar

tar xf lsof_4.892.tar
cd lsof_4.892
installp -acgXYd . lsof.base lsof.license lsof.man.en_US
lsof -v

tar xf lsof_4.892.tar
cd lsof_4.892

# SOFTWARE to install                     [_all_latest] << Esc + 4, Esc + 7
# ACCEPT new license agreements?          yes

Network

Check the interface

lsdev -Cc if
lsdev -Cc adapter
lscfg -vpl ent0
lsattr -El ent0
lsattr -El en0

Set the network

# Set the ip/netmask/gateway
/usr/sbin/mktcpip -h'aixvm' -a'192.168.99.100' -m'255.255.255.0' -i'en0' -g'192.168.99.1' -A'no' -t'N/A'

# Set the DNS server addr
echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf

LVM

# Add a disk hdisk3 to a PV
## NOTE: 新 disk 要加入 PV 成功後，執行 lspv 才會有 pv-id
cfgmgr
chdev -l hdisk3 -a pv=yes
lspv

# Remove a PV from a disk hdisk3
## If done, the pv-id appears 'none' 
chdev -l hdisk3 -a pv=clear
lspv

# Create VG with 128M(PP size)
mkvg -y <vg-name> -s 128 hdisk1 hidisk2

# Add PVs hdisk3, hdisk4 to specific VG 
extendvg <vg-name> hdisk3 hdisk4

# Remove a VG with PVs hdisk3, hdisk4
reducevg <vg-name> hdisk3 hdisk4

# Create LV with 5G
## mklv -y <lv-name> -t jfs2 <vg-name> [LP-number|GB-size]
/usr/sbin/mklv -y'siview_lv' -tjfs2 smapvg 80
/usr/sbin/mklv -y'siview_lv' -tjfs2 smapvg 10G

# Remove a LV
rmlv <lv-name>

Filesystem

# Create a filesystem with /data
## -A: Whether the filesystem is mounted at each system restart.
## crfs -v jfs2 -A yes -d <lv-name> -m <mount-point> -a logname=INLINE
/usr/sbin/crfs -v 'jfs2' -A'yes' -d'siview_lv' -m'/home/siview' -a logname=INLINE
mount /home/siview

# Extend the size of 1024MB for specified filesystem
chfs -a size=+1024M /home
## Alternatively, resizing to specified number
chfs -a size=2048M /home

# Remove a filesystem
## Check if the mount-point has been closed/syncd
lslv -l <vg-name>
rmfs <mount-point>

資安相關指令

# Login Failed
who /etc/security/failedlogin | tail -50

# Check the number of previous unsucessful logins for the account to confirm it is blocked
lsuser -a account_locked unsuccessful_login_count {ALL|user_name}

# Reset unsucessful login counter
chsec -f /etc/security/lastlog -a unsuccessful_login_count=0 -s {user_name}

# Unlock the locked account
chuser account_locked=false {user_name}

# Lock account
chuser account_locked=true {user_name}

登入失敗後自動鎖定

可指定帳號或全域設定
注意：retry 的次數是累計制，登入成功一次，計數不會歸零
解鎖方式是歸零登入失敗的計數

chuser loginretries=5 <username>
lsuser -a loginretries <username>

Restricted Shell

How to Use a Restricted Shell

Defaul Shell：

# Change the default shell for the user to the restricted shell such as rksh or Rsh.
chuser shell=/usr/bin/rksh <user-name>
# OR
chsh <user-name> /usr/bin/rksh

.profile：

# Add the commands that are allowd to run by the user into the directory.
mkdir /usr/bin/restricted
cd /usr/bin/restricted
ln -s /usr/bin/date date

# Create a .profile in the user's home directory and set the PATH environment variable to 
# a directory containing all of the commands you want the user to be able to run
export PATH=/usr/bin/restricted

Core dump

# 解析 core file
dbx -C ./core

(dbx) dump

(dbx) quit

System dump

errpt:

67145A39 0413095315    U    S    SYSDUMP    SYSTEM DUMP

Copy the dump from the dump device to a file using the savecore command:

savecore  .

Yes, the period is necessary. It indicates you want the dump copied to your current directory

savecore will copy the dump to your current directory, and name it:

vmcore.0.BZ

Uncompress the dump using the dmpuncompress command:

dmpuncompress  vmcore.0.BZ

Lastly, format the dump:

/usr/lib/ras/dmprtns/dmpfmt  -c  vmcore.0

Reading a Dump

kdb  vmcore.0  vmunix.0

- Increase the filesystem size

lsdev -Cc disk
lscfg -vl hdisk0
chfs -a size=+1024M /home
chfs -a size=+2048M /opt
chfs -a size=+512M /tmp
chfs -a size=+2048M /usr
chfs -a size=+1024M /var

- Install OpenSSH

mount  -v  cdrfs  -o  ro  /dev/cd0  /mnt
mkdir   /tmp/ssh_install
cd  /mnt/installp/ppc
cp  openssh*  /tmp/ssh_install
cd  /tmp/ssh_install
installp -acgXYd . openssh.base openssh.license openssh.man.en_US openssh.msg.en_US

- Fix the RPM issue

error: cannot open Packages index using db4 - Invalid argument (22)
error: cannot open Packages database in /opt/freeware/packages
error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument

Solution: fixrpm.sh

#!/usr/bin/ksh

cd /opt/freeware
rm -f *.rpm.packages.tar
tar -chvf `date +"%d%m%Y"`.rpm.packages.tar packages
rm -f /opt/freeware/packages/__*
/usr/bin/rpm --rebuilddb

exit 0

Edit /etc/initab, insert the line after the rctcpip

其他管理工作

- 掛載 CD ISO 檔

修改qemu 啟動參數 -cdrom /path/to/your-cd.iso

qemu-system-ppc64 -cpu POWER8 \
  -machine pseries -m 4096 -serial mon:stdio \
  -drive file=hdisk0.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0 \
  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \

  -cdrom $PWD/AIX72.iso \
  -net nic -net tap,script=no,ifname=tap0 \
  -prom-env "boot-command=boot disk:" \
  -nographic

AIX 掛載指令

mount  -v  cdrfs  -o  ro  /dev/cd0  /mnt

- 增加第2顆虛擬硬碟

在 Linux 主機：新增 5G 虛擬磁碟 hdisk1.qcow2

cd aix72VM
qemu-img create -f qcow2 hdisk1.qcow2 5G

修改啟動指令，新增兩行參數

-drive file=hdisk1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1 \
-device scsi-hd,drive=drive-virtio-disk1 \

完整啟動參數

qemu-system-ppc64 -cpu POWER8 \
  -machine pseries -m 4096 -serial mon:stdio \
  -cdrom $PWD/AIX72.iso \
  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \

  -net nic -net tap,script=no,ifname=tap0 \
  -prom-env "boot-command=boot disk:" \
  -nographic -smp 2

在 AIX 主機：檢視硬碟 hdisk1

root@aixvm:> lspv
hdisk0          00000000375ffb46                    rootvg          active

- 增加 vCPU

預設 QEMU 只有 1 vCPU，要改善 AIX 的效能，可以視硬體等級增加更多 vCPU。

qemu-system-ppc64 啟動參數加上

-nographic -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1

- 增加虛擬網卡裝置

qemu-system-ppc64 啟動參數設置兩個虛擬網卡

-net nic \
-net nic \
-net tap,script=no,ifname=tap0 \

如果要榜定 mac addr.

-net nic,macaddr=56:44:45:30:31:31 \
-net nic,macaddr=56:44:45:30:31:32 \
-net tap,script=no,ifname=tap0 \

AIX VM with virt-manager

技巧

AIX系統的虛擬磁碟 hdisk0 ，裝置類型必須是 SCSI 磁碟，並且使用指令先建立 qemu-img create -f qcow2 hdisk0.qcow2 20G，磁碟大小可自行調整。
修改 xml 檔時，可以在 virt-manager 介面上操作，或者以指令模式替代。指令是 virsh edit <vm-name>。

XML

修改 iso 檔路徑
XML 檔增加第一行 <domain type=....> 與 <qemu:comandline> .... </qemu:commandline>

<domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
...
  <devices>
  ...
  </devices>
  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-prom-env'/>
    <qemu:arg value='boot-command=boot cdrom:'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-cdrom'/>
    <qemu:arg value='/home/cobra/aix72VM2/AIX72.iso'/>
  </qemu:commandline>
