I agree with Mark .. from everything I've read in these threads and documentation - the 'safest' course is to not specify the portname - and there is no downside to not specifying it but can be to having it specified -- so have the driver ignore any configuration that attempts to specify it.

Installing RHEL 6.6 and trying to create a custom layout with the hard drives. I am trying to use 2-3390-3 for the root and 1- 3390-27 for an lvm mounted at /opt. Is there some better documentation or a Share presentation that is more detailed than what is in the Redbook? Having a difficult

Hi Matt, To create an LVM volume is quite simple: 1) First you need to set the partition or disk as a Physical Device for the LVM 2) Then you have to create a Volume Group 3) Create the Logical Volumes that will be part of the Volume Group More information can be found here:

I've not used the LVM within Linux much but have a LOT of experience with an LVM within AIX, so I'm not sure how well allocation can be managed w/r/t intra and inter policies within a volume group on Linux. On AIX you could tune the intra policy to maximize locality of reference and STILL use the

This is just a warning due to what we have to go through. A windows server has all the printers directly connected to it, therefore we have to get permission for our windows laptops and desktops to connect to that server in order to print through it to the actual printer. Please check out
