Evolving from founder to great CEO

CEO: command, management, leadership

  • management is power granted by your position
  • leadership is power granted freely because of a follower’s perception of your credibility, competence and caring.

  • pg_dump -Fc (compressed) and pg_restore -j (parallel)
  • Increase maintenance_work_mem

Adding EN_US to AIX LPAR

Chef Client 12 uses the UTF-8 locale. By default, BOS doesn't include it so Chef will throw warnings. Here's how you install it.

You need at least the AIX media (first disc), or copy all the files in /installp/ppc/*EN_US* somewhere on your LPAR. Let's say it's /tmp/rte

It's recommended that you use smit to install this charset so any WPARs you have also get the charset applied.

From a root shell type:

` $ smit lang
