Hi experts,

We are running RHEL AS4 U4 on our P-series. We have already installed our Oracle database and we have observed that the system is frequently generating the following warning:

...

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanking you in advance for your replies.

what does ls -l /proc/ppc64/lparcfg show ?

Hi Mark,

thank you for your reply.

Below the answer to your question:
[oracle@sdblx1 ~]$ ls -l /proc/ppc64/lparcfg
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 31 07:44 /proc/ppc64/lparcfg
[oracle@sdblx1 ~]$


Even if we change the properties of the file, it is reset to root:root after each restart.

kind regards
